The First Photograph
|
"Boulevard du Temple", is generally accepted as the earliest photograph to include people. It is a view of a busy street, but because the exposure time was at least ten minutes the moving traffic left no trace. Only the two men near the bottom left corner, one apparently having his boots polished by the other, stayed in one place long enough to be visible.

The First
|
Taken by Thomas Sutton in 1861
|
The first durable colour photograph was a set of three black-and-white photographs taken through red, green and blue colour filters and shown superimposed by using three projectors with similar filters. It was taken by Thomas Sutton in 1861 for use in a lecture by the Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell, who had proposed the method in 1855.
