188-Year-Old Mystery of Photography's First Human Subjects Solved
A longstanding question about Louis Daguerre's famous 1838 photograph of the Boulevard du Temple in Paris has reportedly been resolved: researchers have identified the location and the people captured in what is considered the first photograph to include human figures. The image famously shows two blurred figures, believed to be a shoeshine customer and bootblack, frozen by the long exposure. The identification sheds new light on a landmark moment in the history of photography.
Why now: New research identifying the subjects and location of the earliest photograph with humans is a striking historical discovery.
