French chemist Michel Eugene Chevreul (1786 - 1889) was 100 years old when he became the subject of the first photo interview.

Such a large number of photographs taken in a brief period of time creates the impression of a movie. A movie starring a man born BEFORE the French Revolution!

(The first known film, "Roundhay Garden Scene" was shot 2 years after this photo interview took place.)

  • @ThewickedLol Heh. No. Not for a while.

  • He looks pretty spunky for 100 years old.

  • @SingDriver101 and in 200 years we'l be those poor dead bastards.

  • @Steerpike07 Ha, I'm glad I'm not the only one fascinated by thoughts of that kind.

  • He looked pretty healthy for 100 years old!

  • Was TV even invented back then?:

  • He was 3 years when the French Revolution took place,He was 14 years old when Washington,DC first established,18 years when Haiti won its independence and when Napoleon gave the Louisiana Purchase to the US.

  • As you can see at there motorisms, there's not much of a difference with people of today. But can you imagine that all these people are dead now for almost 200 years! It's just amazing!

  • @Mufaso1000 healthy living?
