Daguerreotype Image

Daguerreotype

Boulevard du TempleParis, Spring 1838, by Daguerre(the first photograph of a person ever made). The image shows a busy street, but because exposure time was more than ten minutes, the moving traffic does not appear. Only a man getting his boots polished, the shoe-shine boy, and two people sitting at a table nearby stood still long enough for their image to be captured. The image is reversed (as were most Daguerreotypes) as is evidenced by the writing on a building in upper left.
