EDITORS COMMENTS
This head-and-shoulders portrait features the renowned French aeronauts, Albert Tissandier (left) and his brother Gaston Tissandier (right), immortalized in an oval frame. The brothers, pioneers in the field of aeronautics, are shown in their prime, dressed in the fashionable attire of the late 19th century. Above their heads, two vignettes pay tribute to their most notable achievements. The first vignette depicts the hot air balloon "Zenith," which they piloted together on a record-breaking ascent to an altitude of 15,300 feet in 1887. The second vignette showcases the airship "Jean Bart," which they navigated across the English Channel in 1890, becoming the first to accomplish a manned crossing. The intricate detailing of their uniforms and the realistic rendering of the balloons and airship below underscore the brothers' dedication and passion for their groundbreaking explorations in the realm of flight." "Albert and Gaston Tissandier's pioneering spirit and daring adventures captured the imagination of the world, inspiring generations to come. This evocative portrait serves as a testament to their enduring legacy in the annals of aeronautical history." "This print, dating between 1880 and 1900, is a rare and valuable addition to any collection focused on the history of flight, aviation pioneers, or the cultural and technological milestones of the late 19th century.
