This print captures a momentous event in history - the launch of a hot air balloon in late 18th century France. In 1783, the visionary Montgolfier brothers, Joseph Michel and Jacques Etienne, pioneered this revolutionary mode of transportation by successfully launching the first ever hot air balloon, known as montgolfiere. The image showcases the awe-inspiring sight of the majestic balloon ascending into the sky amidst a bustling crowd. The excitement is palpable as spectators gather to witness this groundbreaking achievement unfold before their eyes. This engraving beautifully encapsulates not only an extraordinary feat of engineering but also represents an important milestone in human progress.
