- from our Affiliates
This is a digitally enhanced blue and white print of an antique 18th century (ca. 1784) "Toile de Jouy" textile pattern, Le Ballon de Gonesse, depicting two separate balloon flights from Paris in 1783. One balloon landed in the village of Gonesse where frightened villagers mistook the balloon for a monster and called for an exorcism. The second flight, the first to carry human passengers (Nicolas Robert and Jacquest Charles), landed on the Nesles plain 22 miles from Paris, where it was met by a delegation of citizens. You can customize the background color.
