EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a historical moment in French literature and transportation. The print features the book "A terre Et en l air. . . Memoires du Gant" with an introduction by M. Babinet de l Institut, published in 1864. The engraving was created by Nadar (Gaspard Felix Tournachon), a renowned French photographer from the 19th century. Measuring at 18.5x12 cm, this image showcases a human figure standing next to a transport vehicle, surrounded by elements that represent France's rich history and culture. A prominent feature is the drawing of a majestic balloon floating gracefully in the sky, symbolizing the era's fascination with aerostats. The subject of this print is Jean Bernard, who holds significance within French literary circles during that time period. His name is associated with this remarkable book filled with memoirs and stories of adventure both on land and in the air. Nadar's expert craftsmanship shines through as he skillfully captures every detail of this scene, highlighting not only the importance of literature but also celebrating France's advancements in transportation technology. This photograph serves as a testament to Nadar's artistic prowess while providing us with a glimpse into an era where giant balloons ruled the skies and literature took readers on extraordinary journeys.
