Posting #389 - image attributed (most likely correctly) to Antoine Claudet.
This is a most interesting image. It's not exactly true photograph (which uses film), but a salt print from a calotype negative (different from Daguerreotype which also predated the "modern" photographic process, calotype was invented by William Talbot in 1840 and is, in fact, sometimes called Talbotype). It's the earliest known chess-related "photograph" (c.1845 ) and has oddly been mis-attributed to William Henry Fox Talbot by Jerzy Gizcyki (who erroneously gives the date as 1840) in his "History of Chess," as well as by Ken Whyld (who erroneously gives the date as 1846) in his "Guiness Chess: the Records."

I was curious and looked up some of this photograph stuff and can't actually find something that says photographs use film. Just thinking of it now, I have always heard pictures captured by digital cameras called digital photos. Everything I can find just says a photograph is an image created by light being captured on a light sensitive material.
Daguerrotypes and W Fox Talbot heralded the main birth of photography.
