EDITORS COMMENTS
Le dimanche 22 aout, 1824: An Extraordinary Celebration in Tivoli, Paris on the Occasion of St. Louis Day This broadside announces an aeronautical spectacle that took place in Tivoli, Paris on August 22, 1824. The grand fête extraordinaire was held in honor of St. Louis Day, and the main attraction was a balloon ascension by the renowned aeronaut, Jean Margat. Margat, a skilled and daring aeronaut, would make his ascent from an oblong platform, standing astride his trusted stag, Coco. The image on the broadside depicts the excitement and anticipation of the event, with a crowd gathered around the platform, eagerly watching the preparations. The text on the broadside reads, "Ascension en balon, par M. Margat" (Ascension in the balloon, by M. Margat), indicating that this was not just an ordinary day at the fair in Tivoli. The aeronautical feat was an extraordinary event that drew a large crowd and no doubt left them in awe. The broadside is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of early aeronautics and the excitement they generated. It is a reminder of the thrill and adventure that came with exploring the skies, and the role that Tivoli, Paris played in the history of aeronautics.
