1) Who made this?
Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre
2) Where and what year was it made?
Boulevard du Temple, Paris, 1838 or 1839
3) Why is it significant?
People in bottom left corner are the first people to be photographed, and they probably didn't even know it. Was a 10-15 minute exposure, so anyone walking about would not have shown, but the man getting his shoes shined and the person shining them have been immortalized.
