    I didn’t know we had cameras when she was young

    In case you aren’t joking, all of Napoleon Bonaparte’s 4 brothers lived into the age of photography (1826) and had their photo taken with a camera. His youngest brother Jérôme sat for many photo sessions. Only one of his 3 sisters, Caroline, lived into the era but never had a photo taken. Napoleon Bonaparte (08/15/1769 - 05/05/1821), didn’t live into the age of photography. US President Abraham Lincoln also has several photos taken of him during the Civil War.
