Extra, Extra! “See” all about it! This daguerreotype is Philadelphia’s very first ‘news’ photograph, capturing a crowd of militia after anti-Catholic riots, on May 9, 1844. The bank still stands, but the new Museum of the American Revolution is being constructed on the east side of 3rd Street where this row of buildings once stood. #tbt

North-east corner of Third & Dock Street. Girard Bank. W & F Langenheim, Philadelphia Exchange. May 9, 1844.  1 photograph : daguerreotype ; ½ plate.
