EDITORS COMMENTS
This drawing depicts a pivotal moment in the early history of aviation, showcasing the daring experiment of British scientist James Glaisher and his aeronaut, Henry Coxwell during their record-breaking balloon flight on September 5, 1862. The image, titled 'Pigeons lonces hors la nacelle,' captures the exhilarating and risky endeavor as two pigeons are released from the basket of their hot air balloon at an unprecedented altitude of 37,000 feet above Wolverhampton, England. As the basket soars high into the sky, one pigeon takes flight, its wings spread wide in determination, while the other falls lifelessly to the ground below. This tragic outcome was a common occurrence during early aviation experiments, as the extreme altitudes and harsh conditions proved to be too much for the delicate birds. The release of the pigeons was an essential part of the flight, as they were equipped with measuring instruments to record vital data such as temperature, pressure, and altitude. Once the data was collected, the pigeons would be dispatched to return to their handlers on the ground, providing valuable information about the flight's progress and success. This intriguing drawing, which dates between 1865 and 1870, is a testament to the groundbreaking achievements of Glaisher and Coxwell in the field of aeronautics. Their pioneering spirit and relentless pursuit of knowledge paved the way for future advancements in aviation technology and the eventual realization of powered flight.
