It is always interesting to see how people lived 50 or 100 years ago, their way of life, fashion, work, especially if these are real life pictures, and not something artistic.

In a world where Instagram and Facebook exist, you won’t surprise anyone with photos for a long time. But before you call yourself an advanced lighting and Photoshop savvy photographer, take a look at these old shots - they were taken starting in 1838 and look very funny from the point of view of a modern person.

1. The very first person to appear in the photo

This photograph of Louis Daguerre in a street in Paris was taken in 1838. On closer inspection, in the lower left corner of the image, you can find the figure of a man whose shoes are being polished. This is probably the first photograph in the world with a person accidentally caught in the frame.

2. The world's first selfie!

Back in 1839, Robert Cornelius photographed himself. The method used was called the daguerreotype, after the first photographer, Louis Daguerre. And this self-portrait is considered one of the oldest portrait photographs. In fact, this is the first selfie in the world.

3. The oldest photograph of a woman

This is a portrait of Hannah Stilley, born in 1746. What's even more intriguing is that she was 30 years old when the US was formed! 94-year-old Hannah Stilley was captured for centuries in 1840. Although the original daguerreotype of this portrait has not survived, the image itself appeared in Alva Gorby's book The Gorby Family, History and Genealogy (1936).

4. The oldest photograph of the President of the United States

The first photographed President of the United States was John Quincy Adams, and this event happened in 1843. Adams was the sixth president of the country from 1825 to 1829. At the age of 76 he was photographed by Philipp Haas.

5. First news photo

This is a snapshot of an arrest procedure in France in 1847. The daguerreotype of the incident is one of the oldest photos that accompanied the news. Thus, the trend was born to reinforce all news information with visual confirmation.

6. First photo of the party!

In this picture from 1844, people are banally drinking in the company. Pictured are artist and photographer David Octavius ​​Hill (right), orientalist James Ballantyne (left) and Dr. George Bell. At the moment of photographing, they are probably joking merrily, and on the table there are three glasses of ale (yes, they drank beer by glasses) and a bottle.

7. The oldest photograph of the Alamo

This 1849 daguerreotype is believed to be the oldest photograph of the Alamo Chapel. Photo by unknown author taken before the Alamo Fortress buildings were repaired and rebuilt in 1850 by the American army. During the renovation, the appearance of the building was significantly changed.

8. First shot from above

This photograph of Boston in 1860 from a height of 600 meters by James Wallace Black, who began his career as a photographer with a series of aerial photographs from a balloon, and in 1872 he became famous for his photographs of Boston after a devastating fire.

9. The earliest photograph of the England football team

This photo of the English team was discovered 132 years after it was taken. It shows the superstars of football of the time before the fifth international match of England on March 4, 1876: 10 players with a referee who poses as a keepsake for posterity.

10. First passport photo

The United States is credited as the first country to use passport photos, and it has been mandatory since 1914. The United States was followed by Great Britain, and then by all other countries. This is an example of an American passport dated March 2, 1915, with the very first photo ever discovered. The document belongs to 33-year-old Margaret Sanger, who traveled under the pseudonym Bertha L. Watson.
