EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the historic ascension of the Tissandier brothers, Gaston and Albert, in their balloon, "Zenith," on September 26, 1876. The brothers, pioneers in the field of aeronautics, embarked on this daring adventure from the Champ de Mars in Paris, France. At an altitude of 700 meters, they became the first humans to reach such a height in a balloon, breaking the previous record by over 100 meters. The image, sourced from the AG Renstrom collection at the Library of Congress, dates between 1876 and 1880. The Tissandier brothers' groundbreaking achievement marked a significant milestone in the development of aviation history and inspired countless aspiring aeronauts to reach for the skies. This print serves as a testament to their courage, determination, and the spirit of exploration that characterized the late 19th century.
