The first photos were daguerreotypes. The daguerreotype process was invented in France in 1839 by Louis Jacques Mande Daguerre. The process used a polished silver-plated sheet of copper. The first photo in America was in 1839 as well as the daguerreotype.

How do we have a photograph of him? he died in 1828 this photo l, 10 years before Louis Jacques Mande Daguerre's invention. This photo looks like the 1940s- 1950s and then the car, 1940s
