"In 1839, Robert Cornelius, an American pioneer in photography, produced a daguerreotype of himself in which ended up as one of the first photographs of a person. Because the process was slow he was able to uncover the lens, run into the shot for a minute or more, and then replace the lens cap.[2] He recorded on the back "The first light picture ever taken. 1839."[2][3] A copy of his "first selfie" graces his tombstone at Laurel Hill Cemetery in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania."
