EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph by Paul Thiriat captures a moment of extraordinary bravery and resourcefulness. In the early 20th century, when aviation was still in its infancy, this young boy demonstrated courage beyond his years. The scene depicts an eight-year-old boy being carried aloft by a balloon after his father tragically fell out of the basket. With no one else to rely on but himself, the child managed to navigate the skies for a considerable distance before finding a way to safely descend. His determination and quick thinking led him back to solid ground where he was joyfully reunited with his father who had followed him diligently by car. This heartwarming tale of heroism showcases not only the incredible capabilities of children but also their unwavering love for family. Published as an illustration for Le Petit Journal on August 3rd, 1902, this artwork serves as a testament to human ingenuity and resilience in the face of adversity. The image evokes feelings of awe and admiration as we witness this young boy's remarkable journey through the air. Thiriat's lithograph reminds us that heroism knows no age limits and that even in moments of great danger, there is always room for hope and triumph. It stands as an enduring symbol of courage and inspiration for generations to come.
