Philadelphia, November 1839. “Robert Cornelius, self-portrait facing front, arms crossed. Inscription on backing: The first light-picture ever taken. 1839.” One of the first photographs made in the United States, this quarter-plate daguerreotype, taken in the yard of the Cornelius family’s lamp-making business in Philadelphia, is said to be the earliest photographic portrait of a person.
