first parachute Garnier - printed necktie

 


ss.
This printed necktie features an antique illustration of Jacques Garnerin's first parachute, which he tested on October 22, 1797, in the park of Mousseaux. It is estimated that this aquatint-colored hand etching was produced between 1798 and 1799. Ideal gift for a father who loves aviation history.  Courtesy  of  the Tissandier Collection is from the Library of Congress.
