Photo History Talking

'I am the first pig to fly.' - November 4th, 1909. The first historically recorded flight of a pig took place on British soil, at Leysdown in Kent on November 4th, 1909. The pig was carried aloft by J.T.C. Moore-Brabazon, later the First Lord Brabazon of Tara, in his personal French-built Voisin aero plane.

This photo is said to be the first photograph ever taken and also the first photo ever shared on our account many many years ago when only a few people were following. Simply titled, "View from the Window at Le Gras," is said to be the world's earliest surviving photograph. It was taken by Nicéphore Niépce in a commune in France called Saint-Loup-de-Varennes somewhere between 1826 and 1827.
