First ever photo from 1826 to go on display


This blurry photograph is believed to be the world’s first ever. It is set to go on display in Germany soon. 

The photograph is called The view from the window at Le Gras and dates back to 1826. It was created by photographic pioneer Nicéphore Niépce at his Le Gras country estate in Saint-Loup-de-Varennes, France.
