This Week's Trivia Question:
Which U.S. President has the earliest surviving photograph taken while he was in office: (1) William Henry Harrison; (2) James K. Polk; or (3) John Quincy Adams?
Answer:
A photograph of James K. Polk taken by Matthew Brady at the White House on Feb. 14, 1849, is the earliest surviving photograph of a sitting president. An 1841 daguerreotype of William Henry Harrison has been lost to history and a 1843 daguerreotype of John Quincy Adams was taken after he left office; thereby handing President Polk the distinction of having the earliest surviving photograph of a sitting president.
