Expert: Jeff Coughlin - 10/27/2009
Question
Was Abraham Lincoln the first American President to be photographed? I can't find any photos of any Presidents before him.
Answer
He was the first to be photographed while he was president; however, you can find photographs (or the technological equivalent) of Andrew Jackson toward the end of his life. I'm trying to remember if I've ever seen one of John Quincy Adams. If so, it would also have been from well after he left the White House.
Interesting question. Thanks!
