EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Ascension de Blanchard a Lille, le 25 aout 1785" takes us back to the early days of aviation. This engraving, created by the French School in the 19th century, captures an extraordinary moment in history. In this image, we witness the remarkable ascent of Blanchard on August 25th, 1785. The scene is filled with anticipation and wonder as spectators gather to witness this groundbreaking event. It serves as an illustration for "La Navigation Aerienne" by J Lecornu and was later featured in its third edition published by Vuibert & Nony in 1910. Blanchard's flight represents one of humanity's earliest attempts at conquering the skies. The aircraft depicted here is a motor plane - a pioneering invention that paved the way for modern aviation as we know it today. This print not only showcases Blanchard's historic achievement but also highlights the rapid progress made during this era of flight exploration. It reminds us of our innate desire to push boundaries and explore new frontiers. As we gaze upon this image from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of how far we have come since those early days of aerial transportation. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity and serves as a reminder that every great journey begins with taking that first courageous leap into the unknown.
