EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in history - the groundbreaking experiment conducted by the Montgolfier Brothers on 5 June 1783 in Annonay, France. The image is an engraving from a late 19th-century publication called "Les Contemporains" and showcases the ingenuity of these French pioneers. The scene depicts a large balloon suspended above a crowd of curious onlookers, with the Montgolfier Brothers overseeing their creation. This experimental transport vehicle, known as an aerostat, marked one of humanity's first successful attempts at manned flight. It symbolizes not only scientific progress but also the boundless human spirit that constantly seeks to defy limitations. The print exudes an air of excitement and anticipation as spectators gather to witness this extraordinary event unfold. The historic significance of this moment cannot be overstated; it paved the way for future advancements in aviation and forever changed our understanding of travel. Stefano Bianchetti's masterful capture transports us back to that fateful day in Rhône-Alpes when dreams took flight. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are reminded of how far we have come since then and inspired to continue pushing boundaries in pursuit of new horizons.
