Boulevard du Temple is a photograph of a Parisian streetscape made in 1838 (or possibly 1837 [1]), and is one of the earliest surviving daguerreotype plates produced by Louis Daguerre. [2] Although the image seems to be of a deserted street, it is widely considered to be the first photograph to include an image of a human.
The plate was washed with a mixture of oil of lavender and turpentine leaving a relief image. Later, Daguerre's and Niépce's improvement to the heliograph process, the physautotype, reduced the exposure to eight hours. [33] Early experiments required hours of exposure in the camera to produce visible results.

Original - The Boulevard du Temple was a haunt of Parisian lowlife in 1838 when this very early photograph was taken by Louis Daguerre, probably from the window of his apartment at 5 rue des Marais. The exposure of several minutes has blurred the traffic and the figures with the exception of the man having his boots polished.
