A collection of the earliest outdoor photographs with people in them taken in Europe in the early 1840's. All of the photographs are either daguerreotypes or salt paper prints from calotype negatives. Louis Daguerre's 1839 daguerreotype view of a man getting his shoes shined and other people on Boulevard du Temple in Paris is so common that I thought I would skip it here.
