A Voyage in a Balloon (1852)

John Sartain (1808-1897) was an English artist and engraver skilled in the art of mezzo-tint who emigrated to the United States; in 1848 he purchased a one-half interest in the Union Magazine, a New York periodical, which he transferred to Philadelphia. The name was changed to Sartains Union Magazine, and during the four years of its existence the journal became widely known, publishing works of Poe and other literati. The article here is a translation of La science en famille / Un voyage en ballon. / (Rponse lnigme de juillet.), In: Muse des Familles. Lectures du soir, Paris, seconde srie. vol. 8, no. 11 (August 1851), pp. 329-336 (5 illustrations by A. de Bar, two chapters). This is a different version from the one published by Hetzel; Un drame dans les airs, in: Le Docteur Ox, 19 October 1874, (ed. C & D) (6 illustrations by Emile Bayard, only one chapter!). In this early work we see the ingredients of Vernes later Voyages Extraordinaires; characters brought or thrown together on a journey to afar; introduction of new characters part way through the story; careful scientific explanation of critical events (the ascension, filling the balloon, rising and falling, ballast); use of dialogue to convey scientific information (the history of ballooning); use of scientific instruments (barometer, compass); chapter heads to presage the story; escapes from perilous events caused by scientific or natural catastrophes. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
