[edit] Summary
An illustration of ballooning, from the Journal des Dames et des Modes, 1797-1798.
The writing on the falling pieces of paper reads: "Rapport sur le premier voyage aérien du Citoyen Garnerin avec la Citoyenne Henri" (Andre-Jacques Garnerin was one of the most famous balloonists of the time).
The lady is wearing a classic late 1790's "Grecian" Directoire gown -- which doesn't seem like very warm attire for a balloon journey!
Note the variant version of the French tricolor.
For another early female balloonist, see Image:Sophieblanchard-milan.jpg
