Nel frattempo, nella vita di Félix Nadar
Tutta la vita1855
Gold medal at the Exposition Universelle for the Pierrot series
The “Expressions of Pierrot” series was shown at the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1855, where it won a gold medal.
8 febbraio 1856
Son born: Paul Nadar
1858
The world’s first aerial photographs
He became the first person to take aerial photographs, using the wet-plate collodion process: the plates had to be prepared and developed in the basket while aloft, and escaping gas ruined the images until Nadar invented a gas-proof cotton cover for his baskets. He also pioneered the use of artificial light in photography, working underground in the catacombs of Paris.
1858
A patent for photography from a balloon
In 1858 he patented the idea of photographing from a balloon, which he himself put into practice by photographing Paris.
