Eduard Spelterini: Pioneer Balloonist Photographer

Eduard Spelterini (1852-1931) received his license as a balloonist from the Academie d'Aerostation in Paris, 1877, where he lived a restless and glamourous life for a number of years. He began to photograph from his balloon in 1893 as a self-taught photographer and in the following thirty years put together a remarkable body of work.
