Color Photograph (1861)
Tartan Ribbon, photograph taken by James Clerk Maxwell in 1861. Considered the first color photograph. Maxwell had the photographer, Thomas Sutton, photograph a tartan ribbon three times. The three images were then projected onto a screen with three different projectors, each equipped with the same colour filter used to take its image.

#3 and #4 Him? There are two persons there, the shoe polisher and the customer. I think they are both equally important here, although they probably was not when this photo was done. Even more, there was a lot of people in the street, but they disappeared because of the long exposure time.
Well, nice post!
