[FIN] Lääkäri Henrik Cajander (1804-1848) oli kiinnostunut valokuvauksesta. Cajander kuvasi Suomen vanhimman tunnetusti säilyneen valokuvan, dagerrotyypin, Turussa 3. marraskuuta 1842. Kuvassa on Uudenmaankatu 8:ssa sijainnut niin kutsuttu Nobelin talo, jonka takaa näkyy Turun tuomiokirkon torni.
Tästä tapahtumasta muistuttaa Uudenmaankadun varteen pystytetty pronssinen muistolaatta. Siinä on tekstit sekä suomeksi että ruotsiksi.
