Photo History
Louis Daguerre
This picture is taken by Daguerre –“ Boulevard du Temple”, Paris, 1838
Louis(-Jacques-Mandé) Daguerre (November 18, 1787 – July 10, 1851) was a French artist and chemist, recognized for his invention of the daguerreotype process of photography.
"Boulevard du Temple", taken by Daguerre in 1838 in Paris, was the first photograph of a person. The image shows a street, but because of the over ten minute exposure time the moving traffic does not appear. The exceptions are the man and shoe-shine boy at the bottom left, and two people sitting at a table nearby who stood still long enough to have their images captured
The daguerreotype (original French: daguerréotype) was the first publicly announced photographic process.
