The First Photograph

1. When was the first photograph made?
The first photo was made in 1826.

2. Where was it made?
It was made in Le Gras, France.

3. Who made it?
Joseph Nicéphore Niépce made the first photo.

4. Where is it now?
The photo is now at the Harry Ransom Center in Texas.

5.What do you think about it?
I think that for that time period, it is a very well taken picture. It's very hazy in quality, and almost dream-like. It was originally recorded on a sheet of metal, but this photo is most likely a print out on paper so you can see it more clearly.
