Le Géant de Nadar à Paris, Champs de Mars. 18 October 1863.
A 'snapshot' photograph from the famous hot air balloon used by Nadar to make photographs from the air. Many people are looking behind fences. In Belgium these are now nicknamed "Nadar fences".

In one collection this stereo image is attributed to Ernest Lamy. We found a cdv by Jules Deplanque with this image in another collection. More research is needed to discover the exact maker.

Another stereo of this image is titled: "Ballon Nadar (le Géant), Instantanée prise a 5h. du soir le 18 Octobre 1863"

Stereo albumen print is faded. No further captions on the yellow cardboard.

1863
