Experience faite a Versaille, en presence de leurs Majestes et de la Famille Royale, per M.r Montgolfier, le 19. Sept. 1783.
Dessine par le Ch.er de Lorimier. Grave par N.De Launay.
Engraving, sheet 180 x 115mm (7 x 4½") Trimmed within plate mark. Some surface dirt. Pencil in image within the sky. A small amount of creasing.
A view of the Aérostat Réveillon's, a Montgolfier brothers balloon, voyage on 19 September 1783. It was flown with the first living beings in a basket attached to the balloon: a sheep called Montauciel ("Climb-to-the-sky"), a duck and a rooster. The sheep was believed to have a reasonable approximation of human physiology. The duck was expected to be unharmed by being lifted and was included as a control for effects created by the aircraft rather than the altitude. The rooster was included as a further control as it was a bird that did not fly at high altitudes. The demonstration was performed at the royal palace in Versailles, before King Louis XVI of France and Queen Marie Antoinette and a crowd. The flight lasted approximately eight minutes, covered two miles (3 km), and obtained an altitude of about 1,500 feet (460 m). The craft landed safely after flying.

Premier Voyage Aerien En Presence de M.gr le Dauphin. Experience faite dans le Jardin de la Muette, Sous la Direction de M.r Montgolfier, Par M.r le Marquis d'Arlandes et M.r Pilatre du Rosier, le 21. 9.bre 1783. Vue de la Terrasse de M.r Fraanklin a Passi.
Dessine par le Ch.er de Lorimier. Grave par N.De Launay.
Engraving, sheet 180 x 115mm (7 x 4½"). Trimmed within plate and glued to backing sheet.
A view of the first free flight by humans in a Montgolfier balloon, on 21st November 1783. It was made by Pilâtre de Rozier (1754 - 1785), together with an army officer, the marquis d'Arlandes (François Laurent (1742 -1809)). The flight began from the grounds of the Château de la Muette close to the Bois de Boulogne park in the western outskirts of Paris. They flew about 3,000 feet (910 m) above Paris for a distance of nine kilometers. After 25 minutes, the balloon landed between the windmills, outside the city ramparts, on the Butte-aux-Cailles. Enough fuel remained on board at the end of the flight to have allowed the balloon to fly four to five times as far. However, burning embers from the fire were scorching the balloon fabric and had to be daubed out with sponges. As it appeared it could destroy the balloon, Pilâtre took off his coat to stop the fire.

[Blaise de Lasseran-Massencôme, seigneur de Montluc] Blasius de Monluc Polemarchus [...]
[1660]
Engraving with accompanying letterpress sheet, 17th century watermark; each 470 x 350mm (18½ x 13¾"), very large margins. Foxed.
Blaise de Lasseran-Massencôme, seigneur de Montluc (c.1502-77), marshal of France. Montluc famously defended Siena in 1555 and held Guyenne for the king during the French Religious Wars. He is most famous, however, for his book of memoirs, the 'Commentaires de Messire Blaise de Montluc' (1592), which have been described as a 'soldier's bible'. From 'Les Portraits des Hommes Illustres Francois qui sont Peints dans la Galerie du Palais Cardinal de Richelieu' (1660). The book reproduces the portraits of great men hanging in Richelieu's 'Galerie des hommes illustres' by Simon Vouet and Philippe de Champaigne (although only four of the original paintings survive). The final 'illustrious figure' was Richelieu himself.
For another portrait of Montluc see ref. 2093.
