EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting engraving captures the historic moment when Jean-François Pilâtre de Rozier, a brilliant French physicist and pioneer of aeronautics, embarked on the first manned free balloon flight. The image, held in the esteemed Musée Carnavalet in Paris, France, transports us back to the late 18th century, an era of scientific discovery and innovation. Pilâtre de Rozier, born in 1754, was a visionary who dared to dream of soaring through the skies. In this print, we see him dressed in an elegant attire, ready to take on the challenge of defying gravity. With a determined gaze and a steadfast resolve, he ascends into the open expanse of the white sky, accompanied by his trusted assistant, Marquis d'Arlandes. Their ascent on June 4, 1783, marked a significant milestone in human history. The Montgolfier brothers had already made history by launching the first untethered hot air balloon flight just a few months earlier, but Pilâtre de Rozier and d'Arlandes were the first to explore the freedom of flight in a lighter-than-air balloon. Their groundbreaking achievement paved the way for further advancements in aviation and inspired countless individuals to reach for the skies. This evocative engraving serves as a testament to Pilâtre de Rozier's courage, ingenuity, and the limitless potential of human curiosity. It is a powerful reminder of the transformative power of scientific exploration and the enduring allure of flight.
