Lewis, Louis.




Lewis Hine, [Greel's Shoe-Shining Parlor. Said he was 15 years old. Works some nights until 11 p.m.  Indianapolis, Ind., 08/1908]

Photograph courtesy of the National Archives.


Louis Daguerre, Boulevard du Temple, late 1838 or early 1839.  Likely the first [extant] photograph of a person.  The photograph took more than ten minutes to make, but the man at the bottom left getting his boots polished was standing still long enough to show up in the image.
