EDITORS COMMENTS
La Locomotion Aérienne Passive: Principles of Nature versus Real-life Falling Bodies (1852) - This print showcases a collection of 14 intricately designed parachutes and winged vessels, illustrating the principles of passive flight as opposed to scientific laws. The image, titled "La Locomotion Aérienne Passive: Principles of Nature on Real Falling Bodies," was published in 1852, predating the Wright Brothers' historic flight by over four decades. The illustration, created by an unknown artist, features various parachute designs, including Blanchard's parachute, which was used in the first hot air balloon crossing of the English Channel in 1785. The other designs depict innovative solutions for achieving passive flight, a concept that defied the scientific understanding of the time. The contrast between the natural principles of falling bodies and the established scientific laws was a topic of great interest and debate among scientists and inventors during the 19th century. This print serves as a testament to the human curiosity and ingenuity that drove the exploration of flight, paving the way for the technological advancements that would eventually lead to powered flight. The technical illustration offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, revealing the intricate details of the designs and the thought processes behind them. The print's antique charm and historical significance make it a valuable addition to any collection focused on the history of aeronautics, innovation, or the natural world.
