Description
NEWHALL, Beaumont. Airborne Camera: The World from the Air and Outer Space, New York: Hastings House, 1969. Hardcover (silver-stamped blue cloth), 10 ¼ x 8 ¾ inches, 144 pages, halftone illustrations (some in color), dustjacket.
Former Eastman House director Newhall writes about how aerial photography created a new understanding of the earth, scientifically and visually. He begins with the first images made from an unmanned balloon in 1858 and concludes with the famous 1968 image of earth as marble, seen by the crew of Apollo 8. The pictures show highways, cities, lakes, mountains, and military formations from a unique perspective, and are largely by unknown photographers, though William A. Garnett contributes his share. The once benign 1966 cover image of Ethiopia, Somalia and the Gulf of Aden today resonates much differently for viewers. Near fine condition.
