Gaspard-FĂ©lix Tournachon (1820 – 1910), known by the pseudonym Nadar, was a French photographer. According to the Wikipedia, in 1858, he became the first person to take aerial photographs.
The stamps were issued in 2020, to commemorate the 100th birthday of this multifaceted artists. I got three of the stamps, but I am fascinated by the whole sheet featuring his self-posrtrait Revolving (c. 1885)
This is a post for Sunday Stamps, today's topic being Photography.
