The Belgian term for crowd-control barrier is named after this man.  This inspiration for Michael Ardan in From the Earth to the Moon advertised his studio with a gigantic red sign with his name on it.  His studio was where the first Impressionist Exhibit took place.  This dude was injured following an accident on the second voyage of an enormous vehicle he built called Le Geant.  He first made a name for himself with his namesake Pantheon of lithographs.  This man patented a special type of single lens shutter that helped him take the world's first (*) aerial photograph and was president of the Society for the Encouragement of Aerial Locomotion by Means of Heavier than Air Machines.  For 10 points, name this French balloonist and photographer, satirized "elevating photography to a high art" in a Daumier cartoon.
