188-Year-Old Mystery of Photography's First Human Subjects Solved
Researchers say they have identified the location and circumstances behind Louis Daguerre's pioneering 1838 photograph of a Paris boulevard, long celebrated as the first image to capture human beings. The exposure famously caught two figures—a shoe shiner and his customer—as the only people still enough to appear. New analysis pins down exactly where the camera stood and who the subjects likely were, resolving a question historians have debated for nearly two centuries.
Why now: New research has resolved a long-standing mystery about the earliest known photograph of people.
