EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and explore the captivating world of early ballooning history through this intriguing collection of vintage cards. Dating from the late 1800s, these beautifully preserved cards showcase significant events and milestones in the development of ballooning from its inception in 1783 to the turn of the century. The first card features the Montgolfier brothers, Joseph-Michel and Jacques-Étienne, who are credited with inventing the hot air balloon in 1783. Their pioneering flight, which took place in Annonay, France, marked the beginning of a new era in human flight. Another card depicts Jean-Pierre Blanchard, a French aeronaut who made history by crossing the English Channel in a hot air balloon in 1785. His daring feat paved the way for further exploration and innovation in the field of ballooning. One of the most intriguing cards in the collection showcases the famous flight of Henri Giffard in 1852. Giffard was the first person to successfully power a balloon with a hydrogen gas engine, marking a significant step towards powered flight. Another card features Henri Tissandier, a French balloonist and pioneer of gas ballooning. He set numerous altitude records and made important discoveries about the effects of altitude on the human body. These cards offer a unique glimpse into the history of ballooning, a time when the skies were still a new frontier for human exploration. They serve as a reminder of the courage and curiosity of the pioneers who dared to take to the skies and push the boundaries of what was possible.
