The earliest aerial photography

After the invention of photography, it quickly spread to every corner of social life. Photographers brought back landscapes from all over the world and broadened people's horizons. But at that time, people had not looked down at the ground from the air.

1858 One day in February, Parisians looked up at the German balloon in the air, and the photographer in the hanging basket was taking a bird's eye view of Paris. He was the famous French photographer Nadir at that time. He has made innovations in photography, and aerial photography is one of his great attempts.

Du Miai, a great realist painter at that time, painted an oil painting for Nadal's aerial photography and recorded the aerial photography.
