EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "L'homme dans la Lune (The Man on the Moon)" takes us back to a time when imagination and innovation knew no bounds. From the frontispiece of Gonzales' novel, this woodcut art piece transports us to Paris in 1887, where aviation was still in its infancy. In this remarkable depiction, we witness a man defying gravity as he harnesses the power of flying birds to guide his aircraft. With two ropes firmly gripped in his hands, he skillfully maneuvers through the vast expanse of space towards the moon. The intricate details of this artwork showcase both the artist's creativity and their understanding of flight mechanics. Gaston Tissandier's "Histoire des Ballons" serves as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of conquering the skies. This image captures that spirit perfectly – an embodiment of our collective desire to explore uncharted territories and push beyond perceived limits. As we gaze at this mesmerizing scene, we are reminded that dreams have no boundaries. It is a timeless reminder that even in times long past, humans possessed an unwavering determination to reach for the stars. This artwork encapsulates not only historical significance but also represents an artistic expression that continues to inspire generations with its beauty and ingenuity
