The image, taken by French photographer Leonard de Selva, showcases the bravery and pioneering spirit of early aviators. In the center of the frame stands Pilatre de Rozier, a figure shrouded in excitement and anticipation. He is surrounded by a transport vehicle that supports an enormous balloon, ready to take flight into uncharted territory.
