A crowd of spectators gathers below a single hot air balloon as it lifts off the ground, a scene that drew large public audiences to early ballooning demonstrations in France. The Montgolfier brothers launched the first crewed hot air balloon flight in 1783 near Paris, and their success turned ascents into popular public spectacles in the years that followed. Images like this one capture the excitement of that era, when a balloon rising into the sky was still a new and astonishing sight for ordinary onlookers. Look closely at the gathered crowd to see how the event was watched as much as the balloon itself.
