Départ d’un ballon
transatlantique Drawing by Albert Robida, c. 1883 |
||||||||||
|
Departure of a
Transatlantic Balloon: a fictional future where transatlantic
travel is conducted by large passenger balloons rather than ships or
planes. In the scene, a balloon is departing for a long-distance
ocean crossing, with passengers boarding a gondola and crowds
waving goodbye from a platform. The drawing is part of Robida’s
satirical science fiction vision of the future, where air travel
becomes a normal form of transport and society is reshaped
around flying machines.. |
