Keep in mind that the first photograph, or at least the earliest surviving snapshot, was taken in 1826 or 1827 by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce, who lived from 1826 to 1827 in Paris. We have only had the ability to photograph people and events for a minuscule amount of time in the context of human history, and as a result, we will never truly know what the appearances of countless of history’s most renowned persons have been like. Fortunately, we have images of some of them.
John Quincy Adams
John Quincy Adams was born on July 11, 1767, in Boston, Massachusetts, and was a lawyer, diplomat, and statesman. He was the eldest son of John Adams, the second president of the United States, and the third president of the United Kingdom. During his political career, Quincy Adam served as a member of the United States Senate and House of Representatives for the state of Massachusetts, as well as an ambassador. Initially a member of the Democratic-Republican Party, he was elected president of the United States in 1825. In the 1830s, he began to associate with the Whig Party, which he joined in 1840.
Charles Darwin
Charles Darwin is one of history’s most prominent naturalists, and he was one of the first to propose that all species sprang from a common ancestor. Darwin is also known as the “Father of the Species.” Despite the fact that his beliefs were widely rejected by his peers and religious organizations at the time, his hypothesis of evolution as a product of natural selection is now widely regarded as one of the cornerstones of modern scientific thought. His conclusions on evolution were reported in his book On the Origin of Species, which was released in 1859.
