First Photo
This photo is said to be the first photograph ever taken and also the first photo ever shared on our account many many years ago when only a few people were following. Simply titled, “View from the Window at Le Gras,” is said to be the world’s earliest surviving photograph. It was taken by Nicéphore Niépce in a commune in France called Saint-Loup-de-Varennes somewhere between 1826 and 1827.
