EDITORS COMMENTS
A Thrilling Aeronautical Experience: Eugene Godard's Arenes du sport aeronautique of Easter Monday, April 6, 1885 This broadside heralds the public experience of aviation at the Arenes du sport aeronautique, an aeronautics exhibition held under the esteemed direction of balloonist Eugene Godard in Paris during the Easter holidays of 1885. The event took place on April 6, at 2 p.m., and offered spectators an unparalleled opportunity to witness the wonders of flight. The image showcases the L'Avenir balloon, equipped with two separate passenger areas. The primary basket is attached directly beneath the balloon, while a secondary platform is secured below it. Two intrepid parachutists are depicted descending on either side of the balloon, adding an extra layer of excitement to the scene. Eugene Godard, a pioneer in the field of aeronautics, was a renowned figure in the early days of aviation. His leadership and innovation were instrumental in advancing the technology and public interest in flight. This exhibition, organized under his direction, marked a significant milestone in the history of aviation and showcased the groundbreaking system developed by A. Brisson, as indicated by the brevet SGDG (not to be confused with the company of the same name). The Arenes du sport aeronautique offered the public a unique and thrilling experience, allowing them to witness the marvels of flight and the daring exploits of early aviators. This broadside serves as a testament to the spirit of innovation and adventure that characterized the early days of aviation.
