EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Air conquete: airship, balloon and hot air balloon over Paris" transports us back to the early 20th century, specifically February 1909. The image graced the cover of "Figaro Illustre" a renowned French journal known for its artistic flair. Captured by Eugene Grasset, a prominent artist of his time, this photograph showcases the remarkable advancements in aviation and urban planning during that era. The scene unfolds above the enchanting city of Paris, with the majestic Seine River winding through its heart. Against this picturesque backdrop, we witness an extraordinary sight - an airship gracefully gliding through the sky alongside a traditional balloon and a vibrant hot air balloon. This harmonious coexistence between different forms of aerial transportation symbolizes both progress and modernity. Grasset's attention to detail is evident in every element captured within this frame. The intricate architecture of buildings below serves as a testament to French craftsmanship while emphasizing their role in shaping the city's skyline. The composition exudes an atmosphere of excitement and anticipation as if Paris itself is embracing these technological marvels with open arms. Leonard de Selva expertly reproduces this historical masterpiece for our enjoyment today. As we gaze upon it, we are reminded not only of how far aviation has come but also of humanity's relentless pursuit of advancement throughout history. This print invites us to appreciate both artistry and innovation while immersing ourselves in the rich tapestry woven by past generations.
