The stamp features an image of Jacques-Etienne Montgolfier, who, with his brother, invented the montgolfier-style hot air balloon, and launched the first manned ascent, with Jaques-Etienne Montgolfier on the balloon. The sheet also includes images of their balloons and a French coin honoring the brothers. The sheet is Michel catalog #2410/ Bl. 214, and is Post Office fresh, mint never hinged, and F/VF.
