The Oldest Photos Captured From Each State

We might all have high definition cameras in our pockets nowadays but you’d have to go back to 1826 or 1827 to find the first image ever captured on a camera by Joseph Nicephore Niepce, or at least the oldest picture to survive.

So, let’s take a look at some of the amazing images snapped for the very first time in each state.
