Plate 314 engraving by Andrew Bell,Third Edition Encyclopedia Britannica 1797-1803. First manned balloon by the Montgolfier brothers Joseph-Michel and Jacques-Etienne. Elements of construction and the rich design were supplied by Jean-Baptiste Reveillon. The king's head and sun were added to the earlier design of the unmanned Versailles balloon along with eagles and zodiac characters. It was a 60,000 cubic foot hot air balloon - 75 feet tall and fifty feet in diameter and is the one pictured here. Etienne (and two others) became the first humans to lift off the earth during a tethered test flight in the Reveillon workshop in Faubourg Saint-Antoine,October 13th 1783. On the 21st November,that same year,Jean Francois Pilatre and the Marquis d'Arlandes made the first free flight from the Chateau de la Muette.
