Cat by Window. Ca. 1850. Isn't it beautiful that we've been taking pictures of cats since the very beginnings of photography? Source.

Louis Daguerre • Paris, 1838 The first photograph of a human being. The exposure time for the image was around seven minutes, and although the street would have been busy with traffic and pedestrians, it appears deserted. Everything moving was too fast to register on the plate, the only exception is the man at the lower-left; he's getting is shoes shined.

Untitled daguerreotype, likely Bruno Braquehais, c. 1852
A little later a thousand hungry eyes were bending over the peep-holes of the stereoscope, as though they were the attic-windows of the infinite. The love of pornography, which is no less deep-rooted in the natural heart of man than the love of himself, was not to let slip so fine an opportunity of self-satisfaction. 
– Charles Baudelaire, On Photography, 1859

The first conflict to be captured by photography  (or, to be precise, daguerreotype) was the Mexican-American War, in 1847. We don’t know who took these first pictures of war, or why.
The images are faded and scratched, but they still give a feel for the war. Here’s American General John Wool’s force in the streets of Saltillo:

And here the photographer captured a sizeable American force resting against a building:

So tired of fake social media images!!! It's always "look at my new plaid trousers" or "aren't these Albert boots just the thing." But we never talk about the clamps keeping your head in place.
