EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Aerostat de Lunardi, ascension faite a Londres le 14 septembre 1784" takes us back to the early days of aviation and showcases an important moment in scientific progress. Created by the European School in the 19th century, this print is part of a private collection. The image depicts the awe-inspiring ascent of the Aerostat de Lunardi in London on September 14,1784. This historical event was captured as an illustration for Louis Figuier's book "Les Merveilles De La Science ou Description Populaire des Inventions Modernes" published around 1870. Intriguingly, this engraving offers a glimpse into how popularization played a role in spreading knowledge about modern inventions during the industrial revolution. The hot air balloon depicted here represents not only a means of transportation but also symbolizes mankind's relentless pursuit of exploration and discovery. As we admire this artwork, we are reminded of how far we have come since that groundbreaking flight. From humble beginnings to today's advanced aircraft and space travel, this print serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our unyielding desire to push boundaries. With its rich historical significance and artistic beauty, this engraving from Bridgeman Images captures both our fascination with flight and our admiration for those who paved the way for future generations in aviation.
