Boulevard du Temple (photograph)

Daguerre's daguerreotype taken at 8:00 AM

Boulevard du Temple is a photograph of a Parisian streetscape made in 1838 (or possibly 1837[1]), and is one of the earliest surviving daguerreotype plates produced by Louis Daguerre.[2] Although the image seems to be of a deserted street, it is widely considered to be the first photograph to include an image of a human.[3][4]
