Balloon ascent of Charles and Robert from the Tuileries Gardens, Paris, the first voyage made in a hydrogen balloon.

This was the first modern type balloon.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts the historic balloon ascent of Charles and Robert from the Tuileries Gardens in Paris on 1 December 1783. The Montgolfier brothers, known for their pioneering work in hot air ballooning, had already sent off a trial hydrogen balloon. However, it was Charles, with the assistance of his brother Robert, who designed and constructed the first modern man-carrying hydrogen balloon. The innovative fabric of this balloon was made impenetrable through the Roberts' method of rubberizing the cloth, marking a significant advancement in aerostatic transportation. This marked the beginning of manned ballooning as we know it today. The serene scene in the Tuileries Gardens, with the balloon rising gracefully against the backdrop of 18th-century Paris, symbolizes the spirit of discovery and innovation that characterized the early days of aviation. This photograph is a testament to the groundbreaking achievements of the Montgolfier brothers and their enduring impact on the world of transportation.
