SloveniaThe article discusses an exhibition at Vienna's Albertina museum celebrating the 200th anniversary of photography, featuring some of the oldest surviving photographs. Among these is a notable image titled 'Pogled z okna v Le Grasu' taken by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce, whose exact date of creation remains debated but is believed to be around 1826 or 1827. The exhibition includes historical photographs such as an anonymous shot of a rose seller at the Ponte Vecchio bridge in Florence, Italy, between 1907 and 1930. Sociologist Manuel Castells is quoted emphasizing how modern times are the best documented in human history, noting the exponential growth of digital content compared to the time-consuming process used by early photographers like Niépce.
