8/17/2002: First photograph

The horsey shot is apparently a copy of a print, which for some reason doesn't count for some sources. In the shot I posted - which the Nando story says was 1826, not 1827 - one source said that it wasn't really a photograph, more of a lithograph, since it was produced using an etching/printing process. I guess they attach significance to the fact that it was the first time a shot of nature had been "taken" - a concept that hadn't previously been considered.
