EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration captures the historic moment of the first air trip in 1783, a groundbreaking event that marked the beginning of manned flight. On November 21st, Jean-Francois Pilatre de Rozier and the Marquis d'Arlandes embarked on a daring journey aboard a hot air balloon, becoming the first men to escape Earth's gravity.
As they soared up to 960 meters above the Chateau de la Muette in Paris, spectators marveled at this incredible feat of human ingenuity and courage. The twenty-minute flight took them across the skies before landing peacefully near Butte-aux-Cailles, close to Moulin Vieux (or Moulin de Croulebarbe).
The detailed illustration on the cover of Alfred Carlier's book "Envol de l'homme" beautifully captures this historic moment from the early 20th century edition. The image showcases not only the adventurous spirit of these pioneering aviators but also highlights the intricate beauty of aerostat technology.
This artwork serves as a reminder of humanity's relentless pursuit of exploration and innovation throughout history. It is a testament to our boundless curiosity and determination to push beyond boundaries, both physical and metaphorical.
