The video’s caption reads, “The earliest-born person ever (born in 1810) captured on film in 1896. Swipe through these colorized clips to see Pope Leo XIII, head of the Catholic Church from 1878 until his death in 1903, going about his daily activities.
“Although the initial source states he was the earliest born person to be captured of film, this is extremely hard to verify.”
