Various photographs of Andrew Jackson.
1st photo: is of an original plate, discovered in the basement of the Mead Art Museum at Amherst College in the late 20th century, wrapped in brown paper and tied with twine. It is attributed to Anthony Edwards.
2nd photo: Daniel Adams' 1845 Daguerreotype of Andrew Jackson
3rd photo: India ink copy of an original daguerreotype made at the Hermitage in 1845 just before his death. This is in the Brady-Handy Collection and it is probably a [Matthew] Brady picture. Almost half a century later Brady himself recalled, in an interview, that he had "sent" to have the picture taken for posterity. Marquis James says in his Andrew Jackson that Brady transported the equipment and made the picture on April 15, 1845." Source: Horan, James D. (1955). Mathew Brady: Historian With a Camera.

Rest in piss, dude.
Always amazes me seeing a photo of someone who was alive in the 1700s, and served during the American Revolution.
Piece. Of. Shit.
