The Oldest Generation Ever Photographed | Authentic Daguerreotypes of People Born in the 1700s

In the earliest days of photography, a small number of people sat before the camera who had been born in the 1700s — individuals whose lives began long before photographs, electricity, or modern nations as we know them. This video brings together some of the oldest generations ever captured on camera. Men and women born in the 18th century, photographed late in life during the 1840s and 1850s, when photography itself was still a fragile experiment. Many had lived through revolutions, wars, and the founding years of entire countries. These are the last visual traces of people born closer to the 1600s than to our own time — the earliest generations to ever leave behind a photographic image.
