EDITORS COMMENTS
This print commemorates an historic moment in the annals of aviation history: the first aerostatic experience in Lyon, France, on January 19, 1784. The image depicts the ascent of the hot air balloon, Le Flesselles, with a diameter of an impressive 100 feet, taking off from the grounds of the Tissandier family estate. Seven brave souls, including the pioneering figures Joseph Montgolfier and Jean Francois Pilatre de Rozier, embarked on this groundbreaking journey, marking the first time humans had left the earth's surface to explore the boundless skies. The balloon's ascent lasted for approximately 48 minutes, leaving an indelible mark on the annals of human achievement. This remarkable print, sourced from the AG Renstrom collection at the Library of Congress, serves as a testament to the spirit of innovation and exploration that characterized the late 18th century. Witness the awe-inspiring moment as Le Flesselles ascends into the Lyon sky, forever changing the course of human history.
