Madame Garnerin Ascending in Balloon, 1802

French fashion magazine caricature shows fashionably dressed spectators watching Jeanne Garnerin ascending in a balloon on March 28, 1802. Jeanne-Geneviève Garnerin (nee Labrosse 1775-1847) was a French balloonist and parachutist. She was amongst the crowd watching (her future husband) André-Jacques Garnerin's first hydrogen balloon flight and parachute descent at Parc Monceau, Paris on October 22, 1797. She made his acquaintance, became his pupil, and flew with him on November 10, 1798. He held the position of Official Aeronaut of France so the couple visited England in 1802 during the Peace of Amiens. One of her parachute descents was estimated at 8,000 feet. When the war between France and Great Britain resumed in 1803, the couple were forced to leave England and return to France, where she continued to make flights and descents. Her husband died in 1823. She later met French heroine Marie-Thérèse Figueur, who had fought in the French Revolutionary Wars and Napoleonic Wars, with whom she reportedly opened a restaurant. She died in 1847 at the age of 71 or 72.
