Remember, the first photograph, or at least the first surviving snapshot, was taken in 1826 or 1827 by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce, who lived in Paris from 1826 to 1827. We have only had the ability to photograph individuals and events for a very short period of time in human history, and as a result, we will never truly know what the appearances of many of history’s most famous people were like. Fortunately, some of them have been photographed.
John Quincy Adams
John Quincy Adams was a lawyer, diplomat, and statesman who was born on July 11, 1767, in Boston, Massachusetts. He was the eldest son of John Adams, the United States’ second president and the United Kingdom’s third president. Quincy Adam was a member of the United States Senate and House of Representatives for the state of Massachusetts, as well as an ambassador, during his political career. He was elected president of the United States in 1825 as a member of the Democratic-Republican Party. He began to connect with the Whig Party in the 1830s, which he joined in 1840.
Charles Darwin
Charles Darwin is a well-known naturalist who was among the first to argue that all species descended from a common ancestor. Darwin is frequently referred to as the “Father of the Species.” Despite the fact that his opinions were widely rejected at the time by his peers and religious institutions, his hypothesis of evolution as a result of natural selection is today widely considered as one of the cornerstones of modern scientific thought. His evolutionary conclusions were published in his book On the Origin of Species, which was published in 1859.
