EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the second balloon ascent in history, which took place on 1 December 1783 in the heart of Paris, specifically from the Tuileries Gardens. The intrepid explorers behind this groundbreaking achievement were the Montgolfier brothers, Charles and Robert, who had already made history with their first successful hot air balloon flight on 4 June 1783. The image captures the excitement and intrigue of the crowd gathered to witness this remarkable event. The Montgolfier brothers are seen preparing for takeoff, with the balloon tethered to the ground by a long ladder. The crowd, a mix of aristocrats and commoners, gazes up in awe, some with hands shielding their eyes from the sun, others with mouths agape in wonder. The balloon, a marvel of transportation and innovation for the time, represented a new frontier in human exploration and understanding of the natural world. The 1780s were a period of great scientific discovery and enlightenment, and the Montgolfier brothers' balloon ascents were a testament to the human spirit of adventure and curiosity. The print also serves as a reminder of the significance of this moment in history, not only for France but for the world. The balloon ascents marked the beginning of a new era in transportation and travel, paving the way for future advancements in aviation and space exploration. This image, taken from the extensive Mary Evans Prints Online collection, is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the wonder and excitement that surrounded this historic moment in Paris over two centuries ago.
