caption_attribution_description: Deutsch: Boulevard du Temple, Paris, 3. Arrondissement, Daguerrotypie. Das Bild gilt als erste Aufnahme eines lebenden Menschen. Es zeigt eine belebte Straße, doch bewegte sich der Verkehr zu schnell um bei der Belichtungszeit von mehr als zehn Minuten erfasst zu werden. Die Ausnahme ist der links unten erkennbare Mann, der lange genug still stand, um sich die Schuhe polieren zu lassen. Wie alle Daguerrotypien ist das Bild seitenverkehrt. English: Boulevard du Temple, Paris, IIIe arrondissement, Daguerreotype. The first surviving picture of a living person, taken in 1838. The image shows a busy street, but due to exposure time of more than ten minutes, the traffic was moving too much fast to appear. The exception is the man at the bottom right, who stood still getting his boots polished long enough to show. Look closely and you will also see another man sitting on a bench to the left reading a newspaper. Also, in the upper right hand side, you can see another man standing under the awning of the 3rd building from the right. Speculatively, there could be a woman standing under the street lantern at 2 o'clock from the man getting his shoes shined and another one in the big white building, right column, 3rd window down as well as a face in the top floor window of the white building in front. Español: Boulevard du Temple, París, 3ra de Arrondisement, Daguerrotipo. Esta es la que se cree que es la primera fotografía de una persona viva. La imagen muestra una calle muy concurrida pero debido al tiempo de exposición, de más de diez minutos, no aparece el tráfico u otras personas por moverse demasiado rápido. La excepción es el hombre que permaneció en la misma posición durante el tiempo suficiente mientras lustraban sus botas. Vease con atención y podra ver a otro hombre sentado bajo el toldo del 3er. edificio del lado derecho. Lo que parece ser una mujer parada bajo el poste de luz en direccion 10 en punto en relacion al hombre que se lustra los zapatos y otro mas en el gran edificio blanco, 1era. fila, 3era. ventana de abajo. Nótese que la imagen es una imagen espejo. Français&#160;: Boulevard du Temple, Paris, 3ème arrondissement, Daguerréotype. Il s'agit probablement de la première photographie d'une personne vivante. Elle représente avant tout une rue fréquentée. Cependant, le temps d'exposition ayant dépassé 10 minutes, le trafic s'avéra trop rapide pour apparaître. Seul apparaît l'homme en bas à gauche, resté immobile le temps de faire cirer ses chaussures. Comme tout daguerréotype, l'image est inversée latéralement. Magyar: A Boulevard du Temple dagerrotípia az első embert ábrázoló fénykép, melyet Louis Daguerre készített 1838-ban, feltehetően párizsi lakásának ablakából. A kép egy forgalmas utat ábrázol, de a hosszú – több mint 10 perces – expozíciós idő miatt csak a kép bal oldalán, a cipőjét tisztíttató mozdulatlan emberalak és a cipőpucoló maradt felismerhető. Română: Boulevard du Temple, Paris, IIIe arrondissement, Daghereotip. Probabil prima fotografie ce prezintă o persoană. În imagine apare o stradă aglomerată, dar din cauza timpului de expunere de peste zece minute, traficul se mişca prea mult pentru a apărea. Excepţie fac omul din stânga-jos, care stătea nemişcat în timp ce i se lustruiau ghetele. Imaginea este în oglindă. Polski: Boulevard du Temple, Paryż, III dzielnica, Dagerotyp. Prawdopodobnie pierwszy obraz fotograficzny żyjącej osoby. Obraz przedstawia ruchliwą ulicę, ale ze względu na czas ekspozycji ponad dziesięć minut, ruch był zbyt duży, aby zarejestrować poszczególne osoby. Wyjątkiem jest człowiek w lewym dolnym rogu, który zatrzymał się w celu wyczyszczenia butów. Trwało to wystarczająco długo, aby uwiecznić się na obrazie. Dostrzec można również mężczyznę siedzącego na ławce po prawej stronie i czytającego gazetę. Również w lewym górnym rogu możemy dostrzec innego człowieka stojącego pod markizą a na piętrze białego budynku na pierwszym planie wyraźnie widoczną postać w oknie. Русский: Бульвар Тампль, Париж, IIIй район, Дагеротипия. Первое фотоизображение человека. На снимке показана оживленная улица, но так как экспозиция составила более 10 минут, все двигающиеся предметы не были зафиксированы. Исключением является человек в левом нижнем углу, который стоял достаточно долго чтобы проявится на снимке пока чистили его сапоги. Отметим, что изображение является зеркальным отражением. Tiếng Việt: Đại lộ Temple, bức ảnh nổi tiếng của Louis Daguerre chụp ngày 4 tháng 5 năm 1838 tại Paris. Tấm ảnh chụp một con phố trong khoảng thời gian 10 phút, do hạn chế về kỹ thuật ở thời kỳ đó. Tất cả các xe cộ chuyển động đều không hiện trong tấm hình. Riêng ở góc trái, một người đàn ông đứng yên để đánh giày và đây là tấm hình đầu tiên có ghi lại hình ảnh con người.
context_page_description: Giuseppe Marco Fieschi was a Corsican and the chief conspirator in an attempted assassination of King Louis-Philippe of France in July 1835. Eighteen people were killed by the attack on the King and his entourage, but the King only received a minor wound and Fieschi was quickly captured. He and two other conspirators were subsequently tried and executed.
context_section_description: In 1831, Fieschi met his later-to-be co-conspirator Pierre Morey, a neighbour. Morey was a 61-year-old saddler, who had been involved in Republican politics. He had been arrested but released in 1816, after falling under suspicion of plotting the assassination of the Bourbons. He was later tried, and acquitted of the murder of an Austrian soldier. In 1830, he took part in the July Revolution that put King Louis-Phillipe in power.
  The two contrived the plan for an "infernal machine", a volley gun with 25 gun-barrels which could be fired simultaneously. Morey took the plan to Theodore Pepin, chief of the Society of the Rights of Man Section Rome. After a meeting they decided to build the weapon, splitting the cost of 500 francs between Pepin and Morey, with the penniless Fieschi building it and being paid for it. After much drama the volley gun was completed and ready to be used. The gun was built in the place it was intended to be used – a four-room apartment on the third floor of n° 50 Boulevard du Temple. This was on the expected route the King and his entourage would take during the annual review of the Paris National Guard.
  The annual review, which commemorated the 1830 July revolution, took place on 28 July 1835. At around noon, Louis-Philippe was passing along the Boulevard du Temple, which connected Place de la République to the Bastille. He was accompanied by three of his sons, the Duke of Orleans, the Duke of Nemours, and the Prince de Joinville, and a large number of staff and senior officers.
  Fieschi was waiting for them, 24 barrels of his gun were each loaded with eight bullets and 15-20 buckshot. When the royal party passed in the street below, he fired the gun. Not all the barrels fired, but the gun still produced a volley of around 400 projectiles. Eighteen people were killed at the scene, or later died from their wounds, including Lieutenant Colonel Rieussec together with eight other officers of the 8th Legion, Marshal Mortier, and Colonel Raffet, General Girard, Captain Villate, General La Chasse de Vérigny and Alexandre Labrouste (in French), father of notable architect Henri Labrouste.
  A further 22 people were injured, with at least four requiring limbs to be amputated. The King was one of the injured, but the wound was minor – a bullet or buckshot only grazed his forehead, although the horse he was riding was severely wounded, and died several days later. The King continued with the day's events and reviewed the National Guard as planned. Many of the dead and injured were carried into the Jardin Turc, a famous cafe that was situated nearby,
  Four of the gun's 25 barrels burst when fired, four others did not fire, and a further one was not loaded as it lacked a touch hole. This meant the number of deaths and injuries was lower than might have been the case had all components functioned. The gun barrels that exploded caused considerable damage to the room in which the weapon was fired. Fieschi received severe head, facial and hand wounds and he was quickly captured. Two of his fingers later had to be amputated.
