Since you found the email address of the Jules Verne Forum, you were only
a few clicks away from most resources you're looking for:
E-texts of some of Verne's works at
http://jv.gilead.org.il/works.html
In particular, Cinq semaines en ballon, L'Ile mysterieuse and A propos du
Geant feature illustrations of balloons.
A chronology of Jules Verne at
http://jv.gilead.org.il/butcher/chron.html
Scholarly studies of JV at
http://jv.gilead.org.il/scholar.html
In particular,
http://jv.gilead.org.il/evans/jv-rosny.html discusses both
Verne and Robida, as well as other French authors.
Good luck with the project!
Best regards,
Garmt de Vries.
