EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the exhilarating moment of the Robert Brothers' historic ascent in a large oval balloon from the picturesque Tuileries Gardens in Paris, France, in the year 1784. The brothers, Robert and Michel, are seen gracefully rising above the lush greenery and elegant architecture of the renowned Jardin des Tuileries, accompanied by their assistant, M. Collin-Hullin. This remarkable event marked a significant milestone in the early history of transportation and aviation, as hot air ballooning was still a relatively new and daring pursuit. The large, elegant oval balloon, filled with hot air from an open flame, provided a thrilling and unique perspective of the world below, allowing the intrepid explorers to soar high above the city and take in breathtaking views of the French countryside. The Robert Brothers' daring ascent in the Tuileries Gardens not only captured the imagination of the public but also paved the way for further advancements in ballooning and eventually, the development of modern aviation. This photograph, taken from the archives of The Royal Aeronautical Society (National Aerospace Library), offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the skies were still a frontier to be explored.
