Playing around with Exposition Universelle while I wait for a Zoom call to begin. This scarf is so cool because it depicts some real people known to the artist, as I’ve learned from the his IG account. For instance, I’ve shown the artist presenting this scarf at Hermès. This is the type of cute meta detail that I appreciate!

I just got this scarf a couple of days ago and was jabbering to my SA about the various H people shown on it! I really love his scarves, I must admit.

The detail on this scarf is stunning! Thank you so much for this incredible information - I love it and can hardly wait to learn more!!
Thank you!

Thank you, Cookie. I'm glad you are enjoying this scarf. I was worried it would be awfully techie.

I love your astrolabe! So cool! And you look amazing in those bright and bold colours!

Thank you, Julide. I would wear it more, but I discovered that wearing it tends to loosen the little screw in the back. I don't want to lose it!

Now this scarf is a musthave for you, thank you for the declaration, RBH!

You are welcome, Croisette.

wonderful, Redbirdhermes!

Thank you, Agrume.

It is! Good guess, orchard. And a very sweet design it is.

I agree, and such unifying design.

My scarf is Reves D'espace, or Dreams of Space, designed by Michel Duchene, and issued in 1993. This scarf is packed with symbols of the history of the human fascination with space and flight. Many thanks to @Living.la.vida.fifi for telling me that a pilot needed this scarf. She is so right.

I will be spending a few days with this scarf, beginning today with the astrolabes pictured in the four corners of the scarf.

The astrolabe is an instrument used to make astronomical measurements, typically of the altitudes of celestial bodies, and was used in navigation for calculating latitude before the development of the sextant. In other words, this useful device can give you the time, date, your location and much more. It was developed during the height of the Roman Empire and remained popular through the 18th century when it was replaced by a combination of accurate clocks and the sextant. It was one of the devices that drove the development of astronomy, by getting more precise astrological predictions. It would have been among the navigational tools used by Christopher Columbus when exploring the New World. Many of the ancient astrolabes recovered today are from shipwrecks of Spanish and Portuguese explorers.

The astrolabe was also widely used in the medieval Islamic world. Muslim astronomers introduced angular scales to the design and circles indicating azimuth on the horizon. It was widely used in the Muslim world as an aid to navigation and as a way of finding the direction of Mecca.

The medieval astrolabe pictured above was made by French instrument maker Jean Fusoris (c. 1365-1436), who also made portable sundials and other popular instruments in his shop in Paris.

Many years ago I purchased a small working astrolabe necklace at a local Renaissance festival. I misplaced the instruction book years ago, but I’m hoping to rediscover the computations that mine can make.

As a symbol of the importance of these navigational instruments in reaching the stars, the original crew of Apollo 13 was pictured with a sextant and an astrolabe.

Today we will be looking at some of the aircraft on Reves D'espace. Indeed, it was all the airplanes flying around the scarf that initially caught my eye. There are folks who would be able to immediately identify all of these aircraft, but I am not one of those people. Nevertheless, I was able to identify a few of the planes. Feel free to add to the list if you recognize others.



The glider at the very top of the scarf is a Lilienthal hang glider (c. 1896). Otto Lilienthal was one of the first people to fly successfully with winged flying machines. During the 1890s people flocked to see his short flights.






Looking inside the red and green ring we see a large twinjet aircraft located at the 1 o'clock position. This is the Airbus A330 which was produced by Airbus, an aircraft company located in Toulouse, France. The first flight of this plane was November 2, 1992, so it would represent the latest French commercial plane in this 1993 Hermes scarf.





Moving around the ring at the 4 o'clock position, we see a long triangle shaped plane. This is the Concorde, a British-French supersonic passenger airliner that operated from 1969 until 2003. I remember seeing my first Concorde parked at Paris Orly Airport when I was a college student studying abroad. Unfortunately, I never got to ride in this plane.





Below the Concorde at the 5 o'clock position is the Space Shuttle. This was a partially reusable low Earth orbital spacecraft operated from 1981 to 2011 by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration as part of the Space Shuttle program.





In preparation for my FAA pilot exams I used video training courses from King Schools. At the end of each taped lesson, the instructor would admonish the student pilot to "Stay out of the trees!". My scarf of the day contains these trees, fortunately with no planes hanging in them! Can you tell me where these trees are located??
