The first smile and photobomb ever photographed
by Ed Erhart 26 Sep '15

26 Sep '15

Hi all, We just published "The first smile and photobomb ever photographed" to the blog: http://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/09/18/first-smile-photobomb-wales/ Thank you to Jason for the hard work he's put in here and Daria for putting us in touch. Suggested social media messages follow: *Twitter:* Take a look at the first smile ever photographed: Take a look at possibly the first #phobobomb: *Facebook/Google+:* Wales, 1853: photography history was made. We will never know what made Willy smile for his aunt. An 1800s #photobomb looks a bit different than today's. I'm always open to different or improved messaging. Thanks! -- Ed Erhart Editorial Associate Wikimedia Foundation
