If You Saw My Post on the Supposed 1850 Aerial Photo of the Plaza - Here is the Actual First Aerial Photo of Los Angeles in 1887

Here is my post on the 1850 photo which now appears to be a photo of a model that - possibly has been enhanced at the top a a real aerial photo take at a later date.  And here, from Kevin at LA OBSERVED  is the photo that was taken in 1887.

This may be the first aerial photo of LA

This photograph of the fledgling town of Los Angeles apparently was taken from a hot-air balloon in 1887, part of a stunt by William Randolph Hearst and his San Francisco Examiner. Nathan Masters explains at Los Angeles Magazine's website:

Floating 9,000 feet above the city in a hot-air balloon, photographer Edwin H. Husher tilted his camera over the basket’s edge and captured thirteen views of Los Angeles.

Husher’s voyage was part of an elaborate publicity stunt orchestrated by the San Francisco Examiner and its new owner, William Randolph Hearst. Though designed to sell advertising—and to top a similar hot-air balloon stunt by Hearst’s archrival Joseph Pulitzer—the event injected extra excitement into a booming city teeming with real-estate boosters and instant millionaires. On the afternoon of June 26, 1887, residents clambered up hills and onto rooftops for a glimpse of the air balloon, and a special excursion train brought onlookers from as far as San Bernardino. To entertain crowds gathered around the takeoff site, a team of local ballplayers hosted the San Luis Obispo nine at the Sixth-Street Baseball Park....

 The rest of the story is over at Nathan's LA Magazine column.  The question then is - could one of the 13 views have been used to enhance the 1850 model below?

And here is the other view again.  Does anyone see any resemblance between the top parts of the two photos?
