Earliest-born photographied ever.

in #curiosities7 years ago

Today i found this photograph.

gorby_1746.preview.jpg

Nothing special seems to appear on it. Looks like an old portrait of an old woman.
It´s actually a REALLY old photograph of a REALLY old lady. The photo was taken in 1840, and the woman in it, called Hannah Stilley, was born in 1746, which means she was 96 years old at the moment the photo was taken. That makes Mrs. Stilley happen to be the earliest born person ever to be photographied. She was born 272 years ago. The same year Francisco de Goya was born, and 42 years before French Revolution took place. Not bad.
