Embrâsement déplorable de la machine aërostatique des Srs. Miolan et Janinet le dimanche 11 juillet 1784; Print shows the balloon of Abbé Miolan and Janinet on fire and billowing smoke while being inflated for an ascension on July 11, 1784 at the Luxembourg gardens in Paris. Abbé Miollan, as a cat, and Janinet, as an ass, walk away as the fire is being fought. The print ridicules the attempt of Abbé Miolan and Janinet to ascend in a hot air balloon.
