Cee’s Friday Funny Finds – Week of June 26

Cee posted some Funny finds at her site and heaven knows I have tons of those myself, so I decided to post some fun finds instead- and in searching I came across these articles about the first in photographs.

These are a selection of photographic firsts- first selfie, first picture of the Sun the picture of lighting and the first hoax.

I’ve also included a clip of the earliest recording of music to exist.

I think it’s fun to look back on these- enjoy!

Robert Cornelius- first self portrait photograph. Taken in 1839 and even though it is a selfie he managed to keep his tongue in his mouth.

First Hoax Photo and it did not rely on photoshop!

” Self Portrait of a drowned man”. 1840, France.

First Photograph of the sun.

1845 Paris, France

First photograph of lighting.

This is the earliest recording of music known to exist.

In 1888 a recording of Arthur Sullivan’s song ‘The Lost Chord’ was etched onto a phonograph cylinder.
