Le grand ballon captif. Opération du gonflement.
Description
Installation of the hot air balloon at the 1878 Paris World Fair. Giffard, who was at the origin of the project, was a French engineer who created a few models of balloons, and who also managed to create navigable ones. The 1878 hot air balloon was located in the Tuileries. For a fee, visitors could enter its gondola and admire the view of the city. The balloon could go up to about half a mile.
