When was the first photograph of human being born?

Many people think that in 1826, the French scientist Joseph Nipps took the world's first photo in his home, which is called "the view from the window of Legolas" (also known as "the pigeon's nest"). This photo shows the courtyard and outhouse outside the window upstairs of his house.

1825, Frenchman Nipps entrusted French optical instrument businessman Charles Chevalier to make optical lenses for his camera box. 1826, he put the invented photosensitive material into a cassette, and shot and recorded the first photographic work in history. The work was shot in his home in Burgundy, France, and shot through the window in his attic for more than 8 hours.
