Compliments of William A. Eddy for Edward Herbert Young, who helped him take mid air kite photographs in September 1897. This is the roof from which the kites were sent out, taken from a camera sustained in mid air by Eddy Kites. Oblique aerial photograph taken somewhere on Capitol Hill, Washington, D.C.; Eddy and Young can be seen standing on top of the building at left, with several kites laid flat on the roof around them.
