EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Felix Nadar, a remarkable French journalist, artist, and photographer from the 19th century. Created by Andre Gill as a cartoon for La Lune newspaper in Paris on June 2nd, 1867, this portrait showcases Nadar's pioneering spirit and innovative contributions to photography. Felix Nadar was not only known for his exceptional journalistic skills but also for his groundbreaking achievements in aerial photography. He became the first person to capture photographs from a balloon, pushing the boundaries of what was thought possible at that time. Additionally, he introduced the concept of photointerviews – an ingenious way of combining images with interviews to tell compelling stories. In this colorful caricature-like engraving, we see Nadar depicted as a confident man with an air of curiosity surrounding him. The image perfectly encapsulates his adventurous nature and determination to explore new frontiers in both journalism and photography. As we admire this historical artwork from Oxford Science Archive's collection curated by Print Collector1, it is impossible not to appreciate Felix Nadar's significant impact on these fields. His relentless pursuit of innovation has left an indelible mark on our understanding and practice of photography today.
