EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts the third historic hot air balloon ascent of Jean-Pierre Blanchard and his passenger, Mr. Boby, from the old barracks in Rouen, France on July 18, 1784. Dressed in fashionable attire of the 1780s, Blanchard, a pioneering French aviator, stands confidently next to his colossal creation. The hot air balloon, with its distinctive bulbous shape and large, colorful flags adorning the envelope, resembles a magnificent flying wing or sail, ready to transport its passengers to new heights. The scene is set against the backdrop of the old barracks, a stark contrast to the innovative technology that lies before us. Blanchard, known for his groundbreaking achievements in ballooning, skillfully pilots the vessel with the help of his assistant, Mr. Boby. The pair embarked on this journey with the hope of exploring new territories and expanding human knowledge of the world from a unique perspective. As they ascend, the crowd below watches in awe, their faces filled with excitement and wonder. The successful ascent marked a significant milestone in the history of aviation, paving the way for further advancements and exploration. Later, they descended safely on the Plaine de Puissanval, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire and captivate generations. This photograph, taken from the archives of The Royal Aeronautical Society (National Aerospace Library), is a testament to the spirit of innovation and adventure that characterized the early days of flight. The image, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, reminding us of the incredible journey that began with the humble hot air balloon.
