1783 21st Balloon Darlandes Manned Montgolfier Pilatre Rozier
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous occasion in history - the first manned flight by Pilatre de Rozier and D'Arlandes in a Mongolfier balloon over Paris on November 21st, 1783. The image transports us back to a time when the concept of flying was still considered impossible, yet these brave pioneers defied gravity and soared through the skies in their innovative creation.
The intricate details of the Mongolfiere balloon are beautifully captured in this print, showcasing the craftsmanship and ingenuity that went into its design. As we gaze upon this historical moment frozen in time, we can't help but feel a sense of awe and wonder at the sheer audacity of those who dared to dream of taking flight.
The expressions on Pilatre de Rozier and D'Arlandes' faces as they float above the rooftops of Paris speak volumes about their courage and determination. It is truly a testament to human innovation and perseverance that they were able to achieve such an incredible feat.
As we reflect on this iconic event from more than two centuries ago, let us be inspired by the spirit of exploration and discovery that drove these early aviators to reach for the skies. This print serves as a reminder that with vision, passion, and unwavering dedication, anything is possible - even defying gravity itself.
