Picture of the person born furthest from today
Okay, basically what I want to know (As the title says) is what is the picture of the person born furthest from today?
In other words
what i'm trying to find is the person with the birthdate that was the longest time ago where we still have a photograph of them.
For example, are there any pictures anyone knows of from people born in the 18th century (but who lived long enough to get their picture taken)?
I hope i'm making some sort of sense
it occurred to me that I don't know this the other day and has been bothering me quite a bit...it's just fueled by natural curiosity...

I know that John Adams has been photographed and every president since him has been photographed.

Re: Picture of the person born furthest from today
Supposedly this is (or may be) the first photograph of a person ever:
Taken in 1838. The person looks reasonably straight and healthy, so probably isn't very old or very young; could maybe reasonably assume a birthdate very roughly around 1800ish.Spoiler
According to Wikipedia, this might be the first photograph specifically of a person:

He was born in 1809.Last edited by Serpentine; 2013-10-29 at 10:54 AM.

Re: Picture of the person born furthest from today
Near the street corner in the bottom left. Actually, there are presumably two - there's one guy getting his shoes polished, and one person polishing them. Note they might not be the only people contained within the frame of the photo, they're just the only ones who stayed in one place long enough to be visible.
