The first photograph of a television image

... that Oliver Hutchinson (pictured) was the subject of the first successful public demonstration of the television on 26 January 1926?

Source: "Ninety years ago today, in a building in Soho, the first live television demonstration took place in front of a room of members of the Royal Institution and a journalist from The Times. A face – that of a man called Oliver Hutchinson – appeared on in a small 3.5ins by two inch picture. The Scot's first successful test of his Televisor was in 1924, when he transmitted a flickering image onto a wall ten feet away. Two years later, it was a clearer image of Hutchinson in a different room which is now regarded to be the first television demonstration as earlier showcases projected nothing more than faint silhouettes." from: "Google joins in celebrations for TV's 90th birthday".
