EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and whimsical coloured lithograph from 1863 captures the essence of Gaspard-Felix Tournachon, better known as Nadar, a pioneering French photographer. The cartoon depicts Nadar in his iconic hot air balloon, which he used to capture breathtaking aerial photographs of Paris during the 19th century. In this satirical drawing by Albert Humbert, we see Nadar clinging onto his tripod with a determined expression on his face, showcasing both his adventurous spirit and dedication to capturing unique perspectives through photography. His distinctive moustache adds an extra touch of character to the caricature. The artist skillfully portrays the excitement and thrill associated with early ballooning adventures while also highlighting Nadar's significant contribution to the world of art and technology. As one of the first photographers to utilize aerial photography techniques, he pushed boundaries and challenged traditional artistic practices. This print not only showcases Nadar's ingenuity but also serves as a testament to human curiosity and our relentless pursuit of innovation. It is a reminder that even in the 19th century, artists like Nadar were pushing boundaries and using their creativity to explore new frontiers in art and science. Overall, this colourful lithograph offers us a glimpse into history while celebrating an influential figure who forever changed the course of photography.
