This photograph is the first image in which a person appears in front of the camera, and it is also the first image of the city of Paris. The camera used needed about 10 minutes to collect the light and the scene, and the street was full of people, but they were moving while photographing, so they did not appear in the picture except for one person who stopped for a few minutes to shine his shoes. History immortalized him and a shoe cleaner, in the year 1839. [via Facebook]
