Philadelphia, 1839. "Robert Cornelius, self-portrait facing front, arms crossed. Inscription on backing: The first light-picture ever taken. 1839." One of the first photographs made in the United States, this quarter-plate daguerreotype, taken in the yard of the Cornelius family's lamp-making business in Philadelphia, is said to be the earliest photographic portrait of a person.

The second photograph of a person was of his wife naked.
He's pretty hot. I want to find his cadaver in a cemetery and MARRY HIM.
