Photography was introduced to the world in 1839 in France by Louis Daguerre and quickly spread throughout Europe, the United States, and the rest of the world. Surviving photographs taken of human subjects outside over the next decade in the United States in the 1840's are some of the most scarce in existence. This video attempts to assemble the largest collection of such photos taken between 1842 and the early 1850's.These are all either daguerreotypes or calotype salted paper prints.

What's remarkable to me is that while photography began in the 1820s in France, by 1850 apparently photosensitive emulsions were sensitive enough to take pictures even of animals that were in motion, without a blur of motion. Not much earlier, photographic plates had to be left exposing for hours to preserve an image, and people couldn't be photographed.

One thing Americans seem to have lost is a certain aesthetic sensibility. In old photos like these, homes and other buildings are almost always symmetrical (or at least balanced) in their fenestration, and they're generally neat and we'll kept.

I would suppose that if a person were insecure, they have to try and convince themselves that they have something to offer the opposite sex. Of course, if an individual is well grounded, and has a solid education, their maturity, and standing, along with their well earned fortunes, such as a nice house, automobile, and hefty bank account, will attract the opposite a whole lot faster, than trying to convince someone how attractive they are. A secure individual doesn't have time for such nonsense as taking selfies!

Keisha Cole I can relate to the era of my parent's young adulthood, the 1940's. But going further back than that, especially as far back as the Twenties, is too difficult "to see" in my mind's eye. I know things about the Twenties, but I can't relate to it, except for the tremendous economic pride the people had in their new-found affluence, and how it changed their attitudes, demeanor, and morals. That I can relate to, because it happened in the Eighties too. We thought we were "SO HOT"/"Cool"/financially empowered, and when people have that attitude, they let their false pride take their morals into the gutter. Before the Twenties, everything was different. And especially before 1912.

What do you think of Joe Orbin's video with World's Oldest photos, referring to 1823 through 1839 as "discovery years"? I see you have 1839 as the year for photography being introduced to the world, but I realize that probably means to the public at large.

Everyone smelled the same, so it probably didn't matter and probably wasn't as noticeable.

Everywhere probably just smelled like a farm with lots of livestock. I grew up on one. You get used to the smells. To this day I'm not bothered by the smell of any animal we raised when I was growing up - but if it's an animal we didn't raise - the smell bothers me.

It is really daunting to see the reality of what people were able and willing to do in the way of construction of buildings in a time before electric power equipment, precise measuring devices and other necessary items.

The canal lock looks exactly like the type used along the Erie Canal I live in Syracuse, and Rochester prior to that, and these types of locks are a common sight along parts of the canal.

1839 is considered the birth year for photography. Although the art is a bit older, this was the year photography was officially recognized by the Academy of Science, in France. August 19, 1839 the French government bought the “invention” from Lois Daguerre. Exposure time was long and took up to 8 hours to a few days (talk about holding a pose). Daguerre invented a new method of exposure using Silver Nitrate and copper. The method was called “Daguerreotype” process. The word “photography” literally means, ‘drawing with light’. Greek word ‘phos’ meaning “light” and ‘graphe’ meaning “drawing or writing”. (I took Intro to Photography 101 this summer 2020, got an “A”. Love the class).

I agree. Do not now have the same levels of diseases, concentrated political power, widespread gang power, inherited social placement by birth as the only means to education military and political power, ad nauseam

None Given Your history of America at the time, with notions of "concentrated political power" (whatever that is supposed to communicate), "widespread" gang power, etc., is no more true for then, as it is, today, with a federal govt. that has grown many fold, and which controls more of our lives than ever before. Moreover, America had never been about "inherited social placement", like it was in the old world, with its class system.

The construction back then fascinates me more than anything of those times. Like how in hell do they all built those huge building without the current technology and ways we built stuff today? Like it had to been so much more difficult, considering we changed the way we do construction today so much.
