EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Albert Tissandier, published in "Le tour du monde" in 1875, depicts the tragic death of aeronaute John La Mountain on July 4,1873. The scene takes place in Iona, USA, where La Mountain became separated from his balloon during a daring flight. Gaston Tissandier's study on airshipwrecks inspired this haunting illustration. The image showcases the gravity of the situation as it captures the final moments of La Mountain's life. The viewer is transported to that fateful day when tragedy struck high above the American landscape. The detailed engravings bring forth a sense of realism and emotion. As we gaze upon this historical artwork from Leonard de Selva's private collection, we are reminded of the dangers faced by early pioneers of aviation. It serves as a poignant reminder that progress often comes at great cost. Through this print, we witness not only an accident but also a testament to human courage and determination. It stands as a tribute to those who dared to explore new frontiers despite the risks involved. In its simplicity yet profoundness, this engraving encapsulates both triumph and tragedy within one frame. It invites us to reflect on our own aspirations and reminds us that even in our pursuit of greatness, there may be sacrifices along the way.
