First solar eclipse to be photographed, 26 May 1854
First solar eclipse to be photographed, 1854. This daguerreotype was one of seven made by the German-US photographers and brothers William and Frederick Langenheim, on 26 May 1854. This annular eclipse was the first solar eclipse of the Sun visible in North America since the invention of photography, and the Langenheim daguerreotypes are the only images of this eclipse that still survive. The orientation (as for all daguerreotypes) is reversed from that expected for a northern hemisphere eclipse.
