Key item features

  • Title: La Physique Confond L'ignorance Dedie Aux Souscripteurs., circa 1784
  • Description: French cartoon shows a woman (Physics personified) whipping the bare bottom of one man (possibly Janinet) while another (possibly Abbe Miollan), walks away pulling up his trousers. In the background, men are inflating a balloon with hot air from a fire which apparently caused the balloon to ignite and enraged spectators who had paid admission to witness the ascent and who hastened the destruction of the balloon by fanning the flames and pulling it to pieces. The print appears to ridicule the attempt of Abbe Miollan and Janinet to ascend in a hot air balloon in Paris, France.
  • Subjects: Balloon ascensions--France--Paris--1780-1790, Ballooning accidents--France--Paris--1780-1790, Fires--France--Paris--1780-1790, Whipping--France--1780-1790
  • Collection: Tissandier Collection. The collection contains items documenting the early history of aeronautics with an emphasis on balloon flight in France and other European countries. Subjects include general and technical images of balloons, airships, and flying machines; portraits of famous balloonists; views of numerous ascensions, accidents, and world’s fairs; cartoons featuring balloon themes; pictorial and textual broadsides; and colorful ephemera and poster advertisements. There are also several hundred illustrations clipped from books and newspapers. The pictures, created by many different artists, span the years 1773 to 1910, with the bulk dating 1780-1890.
