Created by Clarey & Gibert in Tours during the year 1878, this artwork captures the essence of the 19th century with its nostalgic and romantic appeal. The tribute itself was written by Mr. Wrabelly of Hungary, hailing from the town of Pressbourg (now Bratislava), on his visit to the World Exposition held in Paris that same year. It commemorates his awe-inspiring encounter with Giffard's giant balloon exhibited at the Tuileries Gardens during this grand event.
