EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the essence of early aeronautics and the allure of flight during the late 19th century. The woman, gracefully seated sidesaddle on a horse, is an unexpected yet intriguing addition to the scene as she becomes an integral part of an ascending hot air balloon. The crowd of spectators, gathered in anticipation, gazes upwards in awe and wonder, their faces filled with excitement and curiosity. The man, believed to be a tissandier or balloonist, skillfully manages the balloon's ascent, expertly controlling the burners to lift the magnificent vessel into the sky. The horse, tethered to the balloon basket, appears calm and obedient, adding an element of surrealism to the scene. This photograph, taken between 1880 and 1900, showcases the fusion of two seemingly disparate worlds - the horse and the hot air balloon. The collection of such an image would be a fascinating addition to any archive or museum dedicated to the history of aeronautics, transportation, or the early days of flight. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to experience the thrill and adventure of a public performance that once captivated the world.
