EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 18th-century engraving, the Montgolfier brothers, Jacques and Joseph, are depicted in the courtyard of the Palace of Versailles, attempting to board their hot air balloon with an unexpected trio of passengers: a duck, a chicken, and a sheep. The date is September 19, 1873, yet this illustration transports us back in time to an era of scientific discovery and avian adventures. The Montgolfier brothers, pioneers in the field of ballooning, had already made history with their successful hot air balloon flights in 1783. However, this engraving showcases a more whimsical and playful side to their groundbreaking achievements. The presence of Louis XVI, the King of France, adds an air of royal approval and legitimacy to their experiment. The Montgolfier brothers' innovative spirit is on full display as they try to accommodate these unusual passengers in their balloon. The duck and chicken seem unfazed by the experience, while the sheep appears a bit more hesitant. The Palace of Versailles, with its grand architecture and lush gardens, serves as a fitting backdrop to this scene of scientific exploration and animal companionship. This intriguing illustration, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, offers a glimpse into the past and the fascination with hot air balloons during the 18th century. It is a testament to the Montgolfier brothers' pioneering spirit and their ability to captivate the imagination of people, even with the most unconventional of passengers.
