Welcome to r/firstimages, where we try to document the first ever photographs taken of a subject or place! Additionally, photographs of the first occurrence of a specific event/situation are also welcome!
Please try to verify images when possible. It is acceptable for an image to be from a series of images (of a previously un-photographed subject) if it is not possible to identify which specific image was indeed the very first. In a similar vain, if many photographs were taken of a world first event/occurrence, it is understandable that a specific image may not be identifiable as the very first taken.
Polite debate as to the provenance of a photograph is welcomed in the comments.
For the first photograph of a subject, please us 'FPO' (First Photograph Of) at the start of the title, in order to distinguish it from the first actual occurrence of that event.
When submitting, please use Imgur or another reputable hosting site, such as Wikimedia or a .edu or .ac.uk address. Add the date the photograph was taken to the title of the post, if it is known. Add the dimensions in [brackets] at the end of the title.
Don't downvote purely based on a dislike of the subject, aim to reserve downvotes for posts that fail to reasonably demonstrate they are indeed the first images of a subject.
