Travel set Represents the first manned voyage on 19th September 1783 at the château de Versailles Vernis martin lacquer, silver, crystal, opal ( x x cm) Muller-Quênot Collection Voir aussi MQR10A00_127 From 1st September, the same date that the Peace Treaty liberating American territories from their English colonies was signed, numerous diplomats assembled in Versailles. Before their departure, wishing to impress the diplomats, Louis XVI asked that a balloon demonstration was made in Versailles on the 19th Sepember. Etienne decided to build a new balloon one thousand four hundred cubic metres more resistant. Under the management of Etienne and Jean-Baptiste Réveillon, the construction workers completed the unexpected, finishing its construction within five days. On the 18th September in front of 300 fascinated spectators, a fixed flight was made in the rue de Montreuil. The following day a new experiment was carried out in the presence of the diplomats and in front of the Royal Family in Versailles. The lid of this toiletry set features a design of this particluar flight in front of the Royal Family and the other diplomats in attendance . The clasp is embellished with opal.
