Darwin's Pigeon Camera

Pigeons were the first drones in a way weren't they? Or some of the first drones? In that there was in 1907 this guy called Dr Julius Nurbronner, which I will have pronounced incorrectly sorry, but he was a German apothecary and he invented the pigeon camera. He also actually invented a horse drawn dove cut, you know, a home for the pigeons and doves that he was strapping the cameras to - it's so worth looking at them. There's a whole school of first world war artists which or post first world war art which is derived from aerial photography and aerial landscapes.
