A Captivating Ascension: A Journey into the Sky at the Paris Exposition of 1867 This broadside announces the daily captive balloon ascensions taking place at 42, avenue de Suffren during the Paris Exposition of 1867. The image showcases the excitement and wonder of this aeronautical feat, with the intriguing title "Ascension captive. 42, avenue de Suffren tous les jours de 1 e 5 h. Exposition de l'aérostat et des machines..." The illustrations on the broadside depict the thrilling process of inflating the captive balloon, known as "Le Gonflement," and the moment of ascent, titled "L'Ascension." Spectators, dressed in their finest attire, eagerly watch the magnificent balloon rise into the sky, surrounded by various machines and aeronautical contraptions. The Paris Exposition of 1867, also known as the International Exposition of Paris, was a world's fair held in Paris, France, to showcase the latest technological advancements and innovations. The captive balloon ascensions, led by renowned French aeronaut Henri Giffard and his team, were a major attraction, drawing large crowds and captivating the imagination of the public. This broadside serves as a testament to the spirit of innovation and exploration that defined the Paris Exposition of 1867 and the early days of aeronautics. It invites us to imagine the sense of wonder and excitement that must have filled the air as spectators watched the balloon ascend into the sky, leaving the world below momentarily behind.
