Le Neptune: J. Duruof's Daring Aeronautical Adventure During the Siege of Paris in 1870 This print depicts the hot air balloon Le Neptune, piloted by the intrepid French aeronaut Jules Duruof, soaring above the battlefields of the Siege of Paris on September 23, 1870. The image captures the essence of the audacious spirit of the early days of aeronautics, as Duruof and his passengers bravely flew over Prussian enemy lines, defying the odds and escaping the confines of the besieged city. The print, titled "Le Neptune. J. Duruof," is a testament to the ingenuity and courage of Duruof and his team, who managed to organize this daring escape despite the chaos and danger of the war. The balloon, with its distinctive red, white, and blue colors, is shown lifting off from the ground, surrounded by a crowd of onlookers, who watch in awe and excitement as the intrepid adventurers begin their journey. Jules Duruof was a pioneering figure in the world of aeronautics, and his daring escape over enemy lines during the Siege of Paris became a legendary tale in the annals of aviation history. This print, produced in the late 19th century, serves as a reminder of the thrill and adventure that surrounded the early days of ballooning and the indomitable human spirit that drove men like Duruof to push the boundaries of what was thought possible. The print is part of a larger collection that celebrates the history of aeronautics and the pioneers who made it possible. It is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of early aviation and the daring exploits of those who dared to take to the skies.
