In the original french (taken from Manybooks.net), end of Chapter 1 (talking about the apearance of a flag in inaccessible places):
"Et ce pavillon, c'était une étamine noire, semée d'étoiles, avec un soleil d'or à son centre."Or in english from an E-book extract from Gutenberg
"And the flag was black, dotted with stars, and it bore a golden sun in its center."A very small image of it appears here. A rendering of Robur's airship 'Albatros' can be seen here. A third picture: a beardless Robur partly obscuring his flag
2 more pictures of the flag:
This second pic also shows a long black streamer and I believe (haven't got the book at hand at the moment) this is a feature found in the original engravings. Very unpractical with so many screw about!
