Kermesse au jardin des plantes (8 septembre): A Captivating Moment in Parisian History This evocative photograph captures the excitement and joy of a September fair held in the Royal Gardens of Paris, France, around the mid-19th century. The image, titled "Kermesse au jardin des plantes (8 septembre)," showcases an aeronaut preparing for takeoff in a large, inflated hot air balloon. The woman in the basket, dressed in a fashionable Victorian outfit, appears both thrilled and apprehensive as she gazes upwards, ready to embark on an unforgettable flight. The foreground of the photograph is filled with an eager crowd, their faces expressing a mix of anticipation, awe, and delight. The vibrant colors of their clothing and the various entertainments on display add to the lively atmosphere of the fair. The Jardin des Plantes, a botanical garden and a popular destination for Parisians, serves as the perfect backdrop for this festive occasion. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of early aeronautics and the sense of wonder and adventure that surrounded hot air balloon flights during this period. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of flight and the human spirit's desire to soar above the earth. This beautiful print, from the esteemed Tissandier collection, is a valuable addition to any collection focusing on the history of aviation, Parisian culture, or the evolution of photography.
