Size: 23.5 x 18.8 cm.<\/p>\n<p>This print was part of a series representing the four elements. To depict the element of air, a prototype hot air balloon illustrates the scene. The hot air balloon was a groundbreaking invention at the end of the eighteenth century. The <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Montgolfier_brothers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Montgolfier brothers<\/a> were the first to create a balloon-like structure and make it ascend using hot air.<\/p>\n<p>At the beginning of 1783, the Montgolfiers had made enough progress in their research to take the next step. In early June of that year, they conducted a demonstration in their hometown of Annonay (France), featuring a larger balloon. This nine-meter diameter balloon was made of silk, was held together by two thousand buttons, and lined with fireproofed paper. The unmanned balloon ascended to a height of presumably two kilometers and landed about eight hundred meters away.<\/p>\n<p>Later that year,<a href=\"https:\/\/inter-antiquariaat.nl\/en\/antiques\/sold\/ballooning-montgolfier-brothers-1783\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> live animals were sent up in the balloon<\/a> for the first time \u2013 a sheep, a duck, and a rooster. At that point, no one knew how the altitude would affect the human body. When the animals emerged unharmed, a flight with human passengers was undertaken. This was done in front of the Palace of Versailles in the presence of King Louis XVI and his wife Marie-Antoinette.<\/p>\n<p>The hot air balloon was perhaps the most talked-about mode of transportation in Europe at the end of the eighteenth century. It captivated people&#8217;s imaginations, including the creator of this engraving, who incorporated the hot air balloon into an allegory for &#8220;air.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Price: SOLD<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE TALK OF THE DAY: HOT AIR BALLOONING &#8220;Air&#8220;, copper engraving made by F.
