EDITORS COMMENTS
(Brilliant View of the Bastille Day Celebration of July 14, 1801) is an exquisite print depicting a lively and festive scene in Paris, France. The image captures the grandeur and excitement of the Bastille Day celebration, a national holiday commemorating the storming of the Bastille fortress in 1789, which marked the beginning of the French Revolution. The print shows a large crowd gathered in a public square, their faces illuminated by the brilliant display of fireworks exploding in the night sky. The festivities are in full swing, with people dressed in their finest attire, waving flags and cheering in delight. The atmosphere is electric, filled with joy, camaraderie, and a sense of unity. A striking addition to the scene is a hot air balloon, visible in the upper right corner of the print. This early aeronautical marvel adds a touch of wonder and innovation to the celebration, symbolizing the spirit of exploration and progress that characterized the early 19th century. The balloon, with its fiery red and orange hues, contrasts beautifully with the dark blue night sky, creating a breathtaking visual effect. This print is a rare and valuable piece of historical art, showcasing the grandeur and excitement of a Bastille Day celebration during the early 1800s. It is part of the esteemed collection of the Tissandier family, renowned for their contributions to the world of aeronautics and aviation. The print, which dates back to approximately 1801, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past and a reminder of the rich history and cultural traditions that continue to shape France today.
