This 1910 aerial camera, now displayed in the Albuquerque Balloon Museum, would have been mounted to the floor of a balloon gondola, to take pictures of the landscape below. (The museum has it enclosed in a glass case, which is why there are visible reflections.)

Wow, that's really neat! Did you see any images taken from this kind of camera?
now that's a cool camera. I'd love to find a camera like that for my collection. great find!
Julie, yes, there were images at the museum taken with cameras like this. My friend, who was visiting from Washington, and I stayed in the museum for 3 hours, and had to leave because they were closing, but there was still more to see. If you come to Albuquerque don't miss it.
Sounds very interesting - I can only imagine what it must have been like to go up and take photos with it!
