They say a picture speaks a thousand words and we here at image-acquire being bonafied photography nuts agree with this age old adage. That is why we thought of launching a new section where everyday we will feature a Picture Of The Day. The pictures could be funny, historic, stunning or anything which catches our fancy! Basically anything which makes us go wow! In fact what better way to kick-start this section by featuring The First Ever Photo Published On The Web! The picture may be cheesy but hey its historic!

According to Silvano de Gennaro Les Cernettes were the subject of the first photographic image on the Web.

"Back in 1992, after their show at the CERN Hardronic Festival, my colleague Tim Berners-Lee asked me for a few scanned photos of "the CERN girls" to publish them on some sort of information system he had just invented, called the "World Wide Web". I had only a vague idea of what that was, but I scanned some photos on my Mac and FTPed them to Tim's now famous "info.cern.ch". How was I to know that I was passing an historical milestone, as the one above was the first picture ever to be clicked on in a web browser!"
