EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring moment of "Ascent and descent of Garnerin by balloon and parachute" in 1798. The French School's engraving, housed at Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, showcases a remarkable feat that took place during the outlandish 18th century. The image transports us back to a time when transportation vehicles were still evolving, and the concept of flight was considered nothing short of miraculous. In this scene, we witness Garnerin bravely ascending into the sky aboard a magnificent balloon. As he reaches great heights, his parachute is deployed, allowing him to gracefully descend back to earth. Leonard de Selva's skillful photography perfectly captures the essence of this historical event. The intricate details showcased in this print highlight both the technical prowess required for such an endeavor and the sheer beauty of human ingenuity. Looking at this photograph today reminds us not only of how far we have come in terms of aviation but also serves as a testament to our relentless pursuit of exploration and adventure. It is an inspiring reminder that even during times when ideas may seem impossible or outlandish, they can be realized with determination and innovation. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate both the artistic mastery behind its creation and the incredible story it tells about humanity's quest for progress.
