Default oldest known photo of a real person


I found this really fascinating - This is a photo of Hannah Stilley Gorby, if she was alive today she would be over 265 years old. It's apparently the photo of the oldest person ever photographed. She was born in 1746.

It's a bit like looking back in time, who knows she may be related to someone here.

Where was this person from? Then we can narrow it down and see who she is related to

I do also. I love really old photos, and even old video footage. I find history in itself just fascinating.
