Mankind has had a long and storied past on this spinning globe we call Earth. Ever since the world's first photograph made in a camera was taken in 1826 by Joseph Nicéphore Niépc, we have been using photography to capture moments of our lives, major events, and the world around us. These old photos give us a way to take a trip back in time and experience a brief glimpse into life in those days.
