EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the historic moment of the brothers Anne-Jean and Marie-Noël Robert's groundbreaking hydrogen balloon experiment on September 19, 1784, in the Tuileries Garden of Paris. The image shows the brothers, dressed in fashionable attire of the time, preparing for their ascent into the sky. The large hydrogen balloon, filled with the newly discovered gas, towers behind them, its burnished surface reflecting the sun's rays. The brothers, known for their empiricist approach to scientific discovery, were pioneers in the field of aeronautics, making this the first recorded hydrogen balloon flight in history. The experience of flying in a hot air balloon was still relatively new, with the Montgolfier brothers having made their first successful ascent just three years prior using a Montgolfier-type balloon filled with hot air. The hydrogen balloon, however, offered the potential for greater altitude and longer flight times, making it an exciting and intriguing prospect for the brothers and the scientific community. The engraving shows the sense of anticipation and excitement surrounding this experiment, as the brothers prepare to take their place in the annals of aviation history.
