Uncolored etching of a satiric image of Montgolfier seated among the clouds and smoking a bubble pipe. Text below Montgolfier written as though Montgolfier is speaking them, with the words in English but with a French accent. He is speaking of his grande invention of the hot air balloon and its benefits for his King and country.
