This glass negative shows a view of Baden-Baden, the spa town in the Black Forest of southwestern Germany, taken from an airship rather than from the ground. The record notes that the title comes from unverified data supplied by the Bain News Service, so the exact vantage point should be read with some caution. Photographing from airships in the early twentieth century was rare and difficult, since the camera had to be held steady in a moving craft. The Bain News Service, a New York picture agency, sold images like this to newspapers and magazines eager to show readers distant places from new angles.
