Description
End-of-the-century nostalgia with these plates from the end of the 19th century that parody the progress of science.
Dirigible balloons were the first airline's means of transport as well as the first craft to carry passengers on regular non-stop services over the Atlantic.
This progress made dizzy minds who liked to laugh at the real usefulness of these hot air balloons.
Subject treated with an old-fashioned humor and very beautiful illustrations with fine and precise work. The moon of the astronomy plate is reminiscent of the moon of Meliès
