Photo from open source black and white photograph you can seeing above is one of the oldest shots and the first in history to capture people.
The photo was taken in 1838 by a French artist, chemist and one of the inventors of photography by Louis Daguerre on Paris Boulevard Du Temple, extending from Padlu Square to Republic Square. It can be assumed that such an epoch-making photograph perpetuated prime minister, monarch or any wealthy industrialist, however, in fact, everything is much more prosaic and there were no celebrity photos.
Louis Jacques Mande Daguerre took his picture ten minutes. At then technology exposure was less impossible. Because of this extended exposure interval of photosensitive material, a lively boulevard was captured in the picture by deserted and transportless – moving passers-by and carts simply did not have time be fixed with a camera. The only people turned out to be static enough to get on film, a shoe-polisher and, apparently, a poor client.
Recall that in the nineteenth century photography was made by daguerreotype method. This primitive photographic process based on the use of silver-plated photosensitive plates. Thanks to the efforts of several specialists, one of which was Louis Daguerre, this method first allowed photographers receive a positive image directly on photo material.
