About the Item
"Globe Aerostatique" a gilt framed hand-colored Engraving, French circa 1787, after Claude Louis Desrais, (1746-1816.) A pastoral scene featuring a tricolored balloon at the center. The solo balloonist is in the gondola flying a red pennant. The crowd includes two horsemen, a figure up in a tree on the left hand side and a man with a dog. This print is a depiction of Professor Jacques Charles solo ascent over Leipzig from the spot where he and MN. Robert had just concluded the world's first gas balloon voyage. Robert gave Charles the honor of making a solo ascent at the end of the day. Re up a tree on the left hand side and a man with a dog. "The invention of the balloon struck the men and women of the late 18th century like a thunderbolt. Enormous crowds gathered in Paris to watch one balloon after another rise above the city rooftops, carrying the first human beings into the air in the closing months of 1783. The excitement quickly spread to other European cities where the first generation of aeronauts demonstrated the wonder of flight. Everywhere the reaction was the same. In an age when men and women could fly, what other wonders might they achieve. 'Among all our circle of friends,' one observer noted, 'at all our meals, in the antechambers of our lovely women, as in the academic schools, all one hears is talk of experiments, atmospheric air, inflammable gas, flying cars, journeys in the sky.' Single sheet prints illustrating the great events and personalities in the early history of ballooning were produced and sold across Europe. The balloon sparked new fashion trends and inspired new fads and products. Hair and clothing styles, jewelry, snuffboxes, wallpaper, chandeliers, bird cages, fans, clocks, chairs, armoires, hats, and other items, were designed with balloon motifs." (From the National Air and Space Museum.) Image size: 10.5" H x 13.5" W.
