 | | A lively, energetic, creative machine in mid-nineteenth-century France, Nadar was a bohemian journalist, a caricaturist, a photographer, and a promoter of balloon flight. |
 | | Nadar, whose real name was Felix Tournachon (1820-1910), was an entrepreneurial Frenchman who continually reinvented himself--as bohemian, writer, journalist, caricaturist, photographer, balloonist, and scientist. |
 | | But he is remembered today for his photographic portraits, especially those of well-known writers, artists, and theater personalities--such as Baudelaire, Dumas, Daumier, Berlioz, George Sand, and Sarah Bernhardt--a number of whom were his friends. |
