All,

Does anyone know of a work that discusses early aerial photography from balloons?  A patron was asking me about birds-eye view aerial photography from balloons in relation to a 1910? Postcard they have.

Were itinerant balloonists taking aerial photographs of towns and then selling them much the way pilots did in the 1920s?
