The first photograph was taken by Eduard Spelterini between 1893 and 1924. Swiss-born Spelterini was an early aviator who took to the air with his camera in a balloon well before flying as we know it became a reality – the Wright brothers made their first powered flight in 1903.
The photograph below was taken in January 2018 by Patrick Rütimann.
The next photograph was taken by Spelterini from his balloon between 1893 and 1924 and the second by BHCommunication in February 2018.
There is surprisingly little difference between the first two images, but significantly more between the second pair.
