EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous event in history - the first hydrogen balloon flight by MM. Charles et Robert at the Jardin des Thuileries on December 1st, 1783. The hand-coloured engraving beautifully depicts Jacques Alexandre Cesar Charles and Marie-Noël Robert piloting their innovative creation amidst a crowd of fascinated onlookers. The scene is filled with anticipation as the massive globe aerostatique takes to the sky, powered by hot air and propelled by the wonders of aviation. The gondola hangs beneath, carrying its brave passengers into uncharted territory. It is an image that symbolizes both human curiosity and our relentless pursuit of progress. In this snapshot from history, we witness not only a groundbreaking transportation innovation but also the birth of ballooning as a popular form of entertainment. The crowd gathers in awe and excitement, witnessing firsthand the marvels of flight unfold before their eyes. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from The Stapleton Collection, we are transported back to Paris in 1783 - a time when dreams took flight and possibilities seemed endless. This engraving serves as a testament to human ingenuity and reminds us that even centuries ago, individuals like Jacques Alexandre Cesar Charles and Marie-Noël Robert were pushing boundaries and shaping our future through their daring experiments. It is through images like these that we can appreciate how far we have come while honoring those who paved the way for modern aviation.
