When did the earliest aerial photography appear in the world?

The earliest aerial photography originated from the development of photography technology.

After the invention of photography, it quickly spread to every corner of social life. Photographers photographed the scenery around the world, which broadened people's horizons. But at that time, people just took pictures on the flat ground and didn't try to overlook the ground from the air.

1959, 19 One day in February, Parisians looked up at a balloon in the air, and the photographer in the basket was taking a bird's eye view of Paris. He was the famous French photographer Nader at that time. He is full of originality in photography, and aerial photography is his bold attempt and the first one. At that time, photography technology was still in the "wet film era". Every time you take a photo, you need a photographer to make a photosensitive film on the spot, that is, you need to temporarily coat the flat glass with glue mixed with collodion and iodide, then soak it in silver nitrate solution for 2 ~ 4 minutes to make it photosensitive, and put it in a camera to shoot in a wet state. After shooting, develop and fix it immediately. On the ground, this is also a complicated process, let alone in the air.

The high altitude in June+February in 5438 was very cold. In order to reduce the weight and make the balloon rise higher, Nadal dropped his coat and shoes. With tenacious perseverance, he completed the whole process of making, shooting and developing a photographic film, and successfully took the world's first photo taken from the air over Paris.

At that time, the great realist painter Du Miai painted a lithograph for Nadal's aerial photography, which left a record for this aerial photography.
