I
am a very visual person and I incorporate images into all the research that I
do. I am definitely a believer that “A
picture is worth a thousand words.” Images help me give me a sense of the past. And so this news item just fascinated me!
What is believed to be the world's
first ever photograph is set to go on display in Germany
The snap called View From The Window
At Le Gras dates back to 1826.
It was created by photographic
pioneer Nicéphore Niépce at his Le Gras country estate in Saint-Loup-de-Varennes , France
Thanks to Dick
Eastman for posting about this.
What is the
earliest photograph in your families’ possession? Unfortunately, though I may have a love of
photographs, the earliest in my possession are from the early 1900s.
