Julius G. Neubronner, nato nel 1851 a Kronberg im Taunus come figlio di un farmacista, coltivava una curiosa passione per la fotografia.

Nel 1907 brevettò il design di una macchina fotografica che poteva essere attaccata ai piccioni e scattare automaticamente le immagini durante il loro volo per tracciare il loro viaggio. Nonostante sia stato utilizzato per una vasta gamma di scopi ricreativi, scientifici, di stampa e militari, il successo della fotocamera è durato solo pochi anni, fino a quando metodi tecnicamente più avanzati lo hanno superato, lasciando Neubronner e i suoi piccioni dimenticati nella storia. Tuttavia, la sua invenzione ha contribuito allo sviluppo della fotografia aerea e può essere considerata l’antesignana dei droni di oggi.

Questo è un viaggio attraverso l’archivio fotografico di Neubronner, per ricordarlo come la prima persona che ha provato a vedere il mondo da una prospettiva a volo d’uccello.
