EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and whimsical coloured lithograph, titled "Nadar. Pub. 1867" captures the essence of Gaspard-Felix Tournachon, famously known as Nadar, a pioneering French photographer. Created by Andre Gill in 1867, this print showcases Nadar's unique approach to photography - using a hot air balloon to capture breathtaking aerial views of Paris. In this lively image, we see Nadar clinging onto his camera tripod while floating high above the cityscape in his trusty balloon. His distinctive moustache and caricature-like features add a touch of charm and character to the scene. The cartoonish style of the lithograph further emphasizes the playful nature of Nadar's adventurous spirit. Titled "La Lune" (The Moon) on its balloon's side, this artwork not only highlights Nadar's passion for capturing moments from great heights but also pays homage to his innovative techniques that pushed boundaries in photography during that era. As one gazes at this print, it becomes evident that it is more than just an artistic representation; it symbolizes Nadar's determination and creativity as he defied conventions to pursue his photographic vision. This piece serves as a testament to his significant contributions to both French culture and the field of photography. Now part of a private collection, this colourful lithograph allows us to glimpse into history and appreciate the indomitable spirit of an extraordinary man who dared to reach new heights with his lens.
