Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Cropped page from Les merveilles de la science - tome 5: Inventions scientifiques dupuis 1870: Supplément au aerostats by Louis Figuier (1819–1894) with a wood engraved illustration (the book series seems to have been published 1867–1891). Caption in French: Atelier de construction des ballons, à la gare d'Orléans. The drawing depicts a workshop at the Gare d'Orléans (nowadays Gare d'Austerlitz?), for making manned gas balloons for carrying military messages and mail out of Paris during the German siege of the city in the Franco–Prussian War 1870–71.
Français : C'est à la gare d'Orléans [future gare d'Austerlitz] que fut établi, sous la direction d'Eugène Godard, le premier atelier pour la construction des ballons. La gare du chemin de fer du Nord servit bientôt au même travail, sous la direction de MM. Yon et Camille d'Artois. Pendant le siège, toutes les gares étaient nécessairement vides. Ces immenses espaces reçurent les ouvriers chargés de la construction des ballons, et servirent de magasins pour ces énormes globes de soie, au fur et à mesure de leur fabrication. Nous représentons dans la figure ci-dessus la gare d’Orléans transformée en atelier pour la confection des ballons. On voit, d’une part, les globes terminés, gonflés d’air et couchés sur le flanc, pour permettre au vernis qui les recouvre de se sécher plus vite ; et, d’autre part, des ouvriers occupés à coudre, sur un long banc de bois, les bandes de soie composant l’appendice de la sphère aérostatique [1].
Norsk bokmål: Bokillustrasjon fra Les merveilles de la science - tome 5: Inventions scientifiques dupuis 1870: Supplément au aerostats (trolig utgitt ca. 1880–1890). Tegningen viser et verksted i jerbanehallen på Gare d'Orléans (dagens Gare d'Austerlitz?) der en laget gassballonger som ble sendt fra Paris med militære meldinger, sivil post, brevduer og personer under beleiringen av byen i den fransk-tyske krigen 1870–71.
