In 1900, Paris had no skyscrapers, no tourist helicopters, no
drones. Yet well before aviation made aerial views more accessible,
those who sought such vantages had countless options available to
them. They could take in the vista from an observation ride, see a
painting of the view from Notre-Dame, or overlook a miniature model
city. In Aeroscopics, Patrick Ellis offers a history of the view
from above, written from below. Richly illustrated and premised
upon extensive archival work, this interdisciplinary study reveals
the forgotten media available to the public in the Balloon Era and
after. Ellis resurrects these neglected spectacles as
"aeroscopics," opening up new possibilities for the history of
aerial vision.
