Now here is a real historical find...the world’s oldest daguerreotype camera, languishing in a Munich apartment (which means it survived World War II!), until its present owners discovered it. Once it was authenticated as the world’s oldest camera of its type, it was sold at auction in Vienna for almost 600,000 euros (US$800,000).
Being the photography buff that I am, it would be absolutely amazing to see the types of photos this direct ancestor of modern photography took. Known daguerreotype images exist of Edgar Allen Poe and Abraham Lincoln, and I’m sure there are lots of others.
