By the 1840's photography wasn't uncommon.
We've got family portrait photographs dating from that decade.
It is rarer to have landscape photographs from that period.
I've no doubt the details on the site are correct, they usually are, especially dating the photograph to a specific year.
I'd love to see it.
Has anyone on here seen it, or knows where it is?
