Depart de MM. Charles & Robert: The Historic First Hydrogen Balloon Flight in the Jardin des Tuileries, Paris, December 1, 1783 This print, sourced from the AG Renstrom collection at the Library of Congress, documents the momentous ascent of Jacques Alexandre Cesar Charles and Marie-Noel Robert in their hydrogen-filled balloon, "L'Expérimentale," from the Jardin des Tuileries in Paris on December 1, 1783. The image bears the Latin phrase "Sic itur ad astra" (Thus we go to the stars) above it, encapsulating the spirit of human curiosity and ambition that drove these pioneering aeronauts to reach new heights. Charles and Robert, both members of the Montgolfier Brothers' team, were the first to make a controlled hydrogen gas balloon flight, surpassing the achievements of the Montgolfier brothers, who had previously focused on hot air balloons. The successful launch of their hydrogen balloon marked a significant milestone in the history of aviation, paving the way for future advancements in lighter-than-air flight. The print captures the excitement and anticipation of the crowd gathered in the Jardin des Tuileries, as they watch the duo ascend into the sky, leaving behind the familiar sights of Paris. The event drew considerable attention from the public, marking a turning point in the popular fascination with ballooning and the potential for human flight. This historic image, a testament to human ingenuity and the spirit of exploration, remains an enduring symbol of the boundless possibilities that lie beyond our reach, inspiring generations to look up and dream.
