EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Nadar Elevating Photography to Art" captures a momentous event in the history of photography. The image is an illustration from the French magazine Le Boulevard, dated May 25,1863. It depicts Nadar, the pseudonym of renowned French photographer Gaspard-Felix Tournachon, elevating photography to the realm of art. In this historic scene, Nadar can be seen standing on a rooftop with a camera in hand as he ascends into the sky aboard a hot air balloon. This daring act symbolizes his pioneering spirit and innovative approach to photography. Notably, Nadar was not only an accomplished photographer but also the first person to take aerial photographs. The artwork beautifully portrays urban cityscapes below as Nadar gazes through his camera lens, capturing breathtaking views from above. The detailed illustration showcases buildings and rooftops against a vast horizon over land. This archival piece offers us a glimpse into nineteenth-century France and pays homage to Nadar's significant contributions to both photography and art. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in our understanding and appreciation of this medium. Ken Welsh's expertly curated photograph transports us back in time while celebrating the legacy of one man who revolutionized aerial photography and elevated it to an art form that continues to inspire photographers today.
