EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts Plate XXXII from An Exact and Authentic Narrative of M. Blanchard's Third Aerial Voyage, published in London in 1784. The image captures a moment from the historic event that took place on July 18, 1784, in Rouen, Normandy, France. M. Blanchard, accompanied by M. Boby, embarked on an extraordinary journey aboard a hot air balloon, becoming pioneers in human aviation. The aerial perspective showcased in this plate offers a unique bird's-eye view of the picturesque landscape below. The intricate details of the rural scenery, with its winding rivers, verdant fields, and quaint villages, are rendered with exceptional precision. The inclusion of annotations and labels adds to the scientific and educational nature of the publication. The hot air balloon, with its elegant shape and vibrant colors, dominates the upper portion of the plate. The fiery flames from the burner are depicted in dynamic detail, conveying the raw power and energy required to lift the balloon into the sky. The passengers, M. Blanchard and M. Boby, can be seen inside the wicker basket, holding on tight as they ascend into the heavens. This plate, a testament to human curiosity and ingenuity, provides a fascinating glimpse into the early days of aviation. Its publication in London further underscores the global impact and fascination that the Blanchard brothers' voyages generated during this period. An Exact and Authentic Narrative of M. Blanchard's Third Aerial Voyage remains an essential piece of aviation history, inspiring generations to reach for the skies.
