The birth of photography

These haunting 19th century pictures document the emergence of photography: it's funny to think that cows were the same in 1857, Victor Hugo (pictured), now revered as a literary giant, could have been mistaken for any grumpy old man!

P.S. #8 is a picture entitled 'post mortem', and shows a dead child: quite peaceful, and nothing explicit, but if it's something that would distress you skip it (use the captions in the top left).

  • Cows were not the same in 1857...they didn't eat corn, nor were they given bovine growth hormones...

  • Yeah... the dead baby just brought my relaxed attitude to a grinding halt...but a good post none the less. I liked most of the photos.

  • Sad one, it looks like it could be sleeping. I guess it's a sign of the times as they were too though, harsh.
