Nadar
Nadar (born Gaspard-Félix Tournachon; 5 April 1820 – 20 March 1910) was a French photographer, caricaturist, journalist, novelist, balloonist, and proponent of heavier-than-air flight. In 1858, he became the first person to take aerial photographs, and during the Siege of Paris in 1870–71, he established the first airmail service. In 1863, Nadar commissioned the prominent balloonist Eugène Godard to construct an enormous balloon, 60 metres (196 ft) high and with a capacity of 6,000 m3 (210,000 cu ft), named Le Géant (The Giant). For publicity, he recreated balloon flights in his studio with his wife, Ernestine, using a rigged-up balloon gondola. This self-portrait of Nadar in a balloon basket was taken c. 1863.Photograph credit: Nadar; restored by Adam Cuerden
How to fix unsigned comments

If someone forgot to sign a message they posted on a talk page, you can do it for them by using the {{unsigned2}} template. Simply place the template at the end of the comments, and include the user's name and, if possible, the timestamp (which you can get from the article history}. For example: {{subst:unsigned|MyNameisForgetful|21:18, 11 January 2016‎ (UTC)}} would look like this:
— Preceding unsigned comment added by MyNameisForgetful (talkcontribs) 21:18, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

To add this auto-updating template to your user page, use {{totd}}
"The game of chess is not merely an idle amusement; several very valuable qualities of the mind are to be acquired and strengthened by it, so as to become habits ready on all occasions; for life is a kind of chess." — American philosopher, scientist, and author Benjamin Franklin
