The image showcases an extraordinary innovation that revolutionized warfare forever - the use of The Entreprenant as a reconnaissance balloon, marking the first-ever deployment of such technology in battle. The Entreprenant, depicted majestically floating above the battlefield, played a crucial role in securing victory for the French forces.
