The first known photograph taken of people using silver chemistry in the camera obscura is Daguerre's' view of the Boulevard du Temple which is a busy street in Paris showing a boy shining shoes. (1836) But the earliest known photograph was taken in 1826.
Suppose the daguerrotype technique was invented a century or two centuries earlier and by the late 1700s we get moving pictures which depicts the French Revolution, scenes from the Napoleonic Wars etc, how would it change history, art, mass media and technology for that matter?
