EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, taken circa 1846, presents a breathtaking aerial view of the picturesque French coastal town of Dieppe. The photograph, held in the National Aerospace Library of The Royal Aeronautical Society and available through Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to an era of early aviation and transportation. Dieppe, a historic city located in the Normandy region, is renowned for its stunning coastal scenery, vibrant harbor, and rich cultural heritage. The image showcases the city's intricate urban layout, with its winding streets, grand buildings, and the bustling port. The serene Maree Basse (low tide) reveals the intricate patterns of the tidal flats and the Arques and Darques rivers, which flow into the English Channel. The focal point of this exquisite landscape is a graceful hot air balloon, drifting effortlessly over the city. The balloon, with its elegant and delicate silhouette, symbolizes the spirit of exploration and the early beginnings of air travel. The exact route of this balloon flight remains a mystery, but it adds an intriguing element to the scene, connecting the earthbound town to the boundless skies above. This photograph offers a unique perspective on the city of Dieppe and the early days of aviation, providing a fascinating glimpse into the past. It serves as a reminder of the beauty and wonder that can be discovered when we look up and appreciate the world from a new vantage point.
