Jan 22, 2026
In 1826, Joseph Nicéphore Niépce captured something the world had never seen before — the first photograph in history. Using a metal plate coated with bitumen, he exposed it to sunlight for 8 long hours from his window in France. The result? A blurry but revolutionary image — “View from the Window at Le Gras.” This single moment gave birth to cameras, cinema, and the billions of photos we take today. 🕰️ From an 8-hour exposure to instant selfies — this is how photography began! 🔔 Subscribe for more mind-blowing historical firsts that changed the world! #HistoryShorts #PhotographyHistory #AmazingFacts #DidYouKnow #ViralHistory #InventionFacts #HistoryShorts #FirstPhoto #PhotographyHistory #ViralHistory #DidYouKnow #AmazingFacts #HistoryThatChangedTheWorld #InventionMoments #HistoricalFacts #CameraHistory #ShortsHistory #TechHistory #MindBlown #BeforeAndAfter #interestingfacts did you know,invention of camera,joseph nicéphore niépce,oldest camera photo,history of photography,oldest photo in the world,first photograph ever taken,first photograph ever taken in the world,first photo in history,invention of photography,photography invention 1826,viral history shorts,interesting facts about history,First photograph ever taken of a person,first photograph in history,first photography in history,first picture in history
