Interesting. I guess 4x5 contact prints can work.

No mention at all on who took it, or even why they don't know whose it is. Funny there was no discussion of the photographer.

That's rather cheap, when photos are going for over 3 million.

10 most expense photos sold in 2007.

If you want to see the first photograph ever made you can see Joseph Nicéphore Niépce's first photography at the Ransom Center in Austin.
