The world's first selfie

The world's first selfie was taken 185 years ago

Where did this selfie actually come from?Which was the world's first selfie? Who took that selfie?

About 185 years ago. At that time there was

 no smartphone, there was no distinction

 between front camera and primary camera. The world's first selfie was taken in 1839 with that camera, which means camera.

 The photograph was taken by Robert Cornelius, a Philadelphia chemist. Although a chemist by profession, his true chemistry was with photography. While doing various experiments with taking pictures, it suddenly came to my mind to take pictures myself. 

Place the camera at the back of the home shop. Remove the lens cover and capture the image immediately into the frame. Pose for 1 minute. Then cover the lens again. The world's first selfie was created.  Under the picture Robert Cornelius wrote 'The first light picture ever taken. 1839'. Cornelius took another selfie four years after this photo. 

30-year-old Robert took the world's first selfie in his father's shop in 1839. The son of Dutch immigrants, Robert always wanted to be a portrait photographer. Later, he managed his father's lighting shop business for 20 years.

He retired in 1877. World selfie pioneer Robert Cornelius died in 1893.
