Jules Arnout (1814-1868) was a French lithographer who executed landscape views of cities in France, England, Italy, and Switzerland, many of which were based on his own sketches and drawings. This print shows a view of Fontainebleau from a hot air balloon, with another hot air balloon visible in the middle distance.
