1820 1850 Ascent Francesco Harbor Parachute Possibly Propellers Spectators Tissandier Aeronautics

EDITORS COMMENTS
This antique print depicts an aeronaut, Francesco Orlandi, soaring above a quaint Italian town harbor in his hot air balloon, adorned with both a parachute and propellers. Dating back between 1850 and 1900, this image captures the essence of early aviation and the sense of wonder and excitement it brought to spectators. Orlandi, an Italian aeronaut, was known for his daring flights and innovative designs, pushing the boundaries of what was possible in the realm of aeronautics during the mid-19th century. The balloon, with its vibrant colors and intricate details, lifts gracefully off the ground as it drifts over the picturesque harbor, surrounded by curious onlookers. The inclusion of both a parachute and propellers in the design reflects the advancements being made in balloon technology during this time, as aeronauts sought to increase control and safety during their flights. The townspeople, gathered along the waterfront, gaze up in awe and admiration as Orlandi and his balloon disappear into the sky, leaving behind a trail of wonder and excitement. This print serves as a fascinating reminder of the early days of flight and the pioneering spirit of those who dared to take to the skies, inspiring generations to come.
