21st Brothers Carnavalet Close Crewed Free Jacques Michel Montgolfier Tienne X9d29 Enne

EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the historic moment of the inaugural manned flight of the Montgolfier brothers' air balloon, Jacques-Étienne and Joseph-Michel, on November 4, 1783 in Versailles, France. The Montgolfier brothers, pioneers in the field of aviation, had previously achieved success with their unmanned hot air balloon experiments. This marked the first time humans took to the skies in a free, crewed air balloon. The image shows the brothers, along with their crew, preparing for takeoff in the vertical position, with the balloon's large, round shape filling the majority of the frame. The intricate details of the balloon's construction, including the woven basket and the flames from the burner used to heat the air inside, are clearly visible. The scene is set against a backdrop of a grand, ornate building, likely the Palace of Versailles, emphasizing the significance of this groundbreaking achievement. The brothers' innovative spirit and courage paved the way for future advancements in aviation technology and the exploration of the skies.
