EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Boulevard du Temple, Paris, 3rd arrondissement, 1838" takes us back in time to the early days of photography. Captured by Louis Jacques Mande Daguerre himself, this daguerreotype print is believed to be the earliest photograph showing a living person. As we gaze at this historic image, our eyes are drawn to two men near the bottom left corner. One man seems engrossed in having his boots polished while the other diligently tends to his task. These two figures are the only ones who remained still long enough for their presence to be captured on film. The street scene depicted here showcases a bustling Parisian atmosphere from over 180 years ago. The buildings lining Boulevard du Temple stand tall and proud as witnesses of time gone by. This photograph not only serves as a visual record but also transports us into an era when photography was just beginning its journey towards becoming one of humanity's most cherished art forms. With its remarkable clarity and attention to detail despite being monochromatic, this daguerreotype print reminds us of the incredible advancements made in photographic techniques since then. It stands as a testament to both Daguerre's pioneering spirit and his mastery of capturing moments frozen in time. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can now appreciate this piece of history that forever immortalizes a fragment of life on Boulevard du Temple in 1838 Paris.
