List of photographic subjects born in the 1700s

This is a list of people identified as being among the earliest photographic subjects, sorted by date of birth.

Early photographic portraiture processes

The first widely available photographic portraiture technique was the daguerreotype, invented in 1839 by Louis Daguerre. Tens of thousands survive today in public collections. The first paper negative process, in which more than one copy could be produced, was the calotype, invented in 1841 by William Henry Fox Talbot. The photographic era had begun. The question is, which sitters that we can document today hold the distinction of being the earliest born human subjects for which photographic likenesses survive?

How old?

If a centenarian was photographed shortly after the invention of these processes, it is possible that the earliest born human subject with a photographic likeness could have been born in the 1730s.
