It is the first ever photograph of a person. Name of the place is "Boulevard du Temple"(Paris) & name of the photographer is Louis Daguerre .It was taken in late 1838 or early 1839. It is an image of a busy street, but because exposure time was over ten minutes, the city traffic was moving too much to appear. The exception is a man in the bottom left corner, who stood still getting his boots polished long enough to show up in the picture.
