First photograph of a human. Lower left hand corner.

Quote

In 1838, Daguerre caught an image of a man who appears to be getting his shoes or boots shined at a street corner. Daguerre's process involved exposing a chemically treated metal plate for several minutes. If someone or something was moving within the frame, it wouldn't show up in a daguerreotype photo. But since this person remained relatively stationary as the image was captured, he showed up in the picture. The anonymous Parisian thus gets credit for being the first person ever to have his picture taken.
