First aerostatic flight Montgolfier brothers Versailles 1783 - stock illustration

The first aerostatic flight in history was an experiment carried out by the Montgolfier brothers Joseph and Étienne Montgolfier at Versailles on 19 September 1783. At long last, man could leave the surface of the earth below.The balloon was made of cotton canvas with paper glued onto both sides, measured 18.47m tall by 13.28m wide, and weighed 400 kg. It was named Le Réveillon after Étienne's friend Jean-Baptiste Réveillon.As a precaution, it was decided to use animals for the flight - a sheep, duck and cockerel entered the round wicker basket tied to the balloon by a ropeOriginal edition from my own archivesSource : Correo de Ultramar 1867
