One century before drone : aerial kite photography.

Thirty years after the first tests of aerial photography with aérostat by Nadar, Arthur Batut is the first, in 1889, who gets an aerial photography with a kite, technical more flexible and less onerous than aerostat, considering developing new applications in mapping.
