EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled 'Portrait d'après nature de quatre physiciens célèbres volant sans ballon' (Portrait of Four Famous Physicists Flying Without a Balloon), is a humorous commentary on the failed hot air balloon experiment by Jean-François Pilâtre de Rozier and Marquis d'Arlandes on July 11, 1784, in the Luxembourg Gardens of Paris. The cartoon, created in 1784, depicts the scientists in an unexpected light. Abbe Miollan, portrayed as a cat, and Janinet, carrying a bag of money over his shoulder and hastily retreating from the scene, are the focus of the crowd's ire. The failure of the balloon experiment, which was intended to be a significant scientific achievement, left the spectators disappointed and enraged. The image serves as a reminder of the unpredictability of scientific endeavors and the human reaction to failure. This charming print is a fascinating addition to any collection focusing on the history of aeronautics and the scientific discoveries of the late 18th century.
