From the archives: Probably the oldest selfie ever

Thursday, February 27, 2014


A photo taken in December 1920 by five gentlemen working at the Byron Company, a commercial photography studio founded in Manhattan in 1892.

From Fast Company:
Snapped in New York on the roof of the Marceau Studio on Fifth Avenue, across the street from St. Patrick's Cathedral, this picture features five mustached photographers holding an antediluvian analog camera at arm's length. Because this camera would have been too heavy to hold with one hand, Joseph Byron is propping it up on the left, with his colleague Ben Falk holding it on the right. In the middle, you have Pirie MacDonald, Colonel Marceau, and Pop Core.
