The title, which begins "Vient de paraître" ("just published"), suggests a printed announcement of a new book or pamphlet rather than a view of the sky. Such notices were common in France after the Montgolfier brothers' hot-air balloon flights of 1783, when aerial navigation became a public craze. Publishers quickly issued treatises, songs, engravings and accounts of each ascent, and ballooning became a favorite subject in French print culture. The phrase itself is a useful reminder of how quickly news of the new science reached readers through the press.
