EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic moment in history, frozen in time. Taken on Saturday, July 25,1891, it depicts an incident that occurred in Chicago involving Louis Godard Jr. (1858-1933) and Panis. The details are scarce as the artist remains unknown, but the image speaks volumes. In this striking engraving, we see a transport vehicle with a balloon struck by lightning looming ominously overhead. The chaotic scene is filled with tension and danger as the airship balloon hovers menacingly above the city streets. It is evident that both Louis Godard Jr. and Panis have been wounded during this fateful event. The historical significance of this photograph lies not only in its depiction of a specific incident but also in its representation of early meteorology and aerostat technology prevalent during that era in America's history. Stefano Bianchetti skillfully captured these elements through his masterful engraving technique. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from our private collection, we are transported back to a time when such occurrences were rare yet awe-inspiring for those who witnessed them firsthand. This print serves as a reminder of humanity's relentless pursuit to conquer the skies while simultaneously highlighting the unpredictable forces of nature.
