Russian Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna at the age of 13 was one of the first teenagers to take her own picture using a mirror to send to a friend in 1914. In the letter that accompanied the photograph, she wrote, "I took this picture of myself looking at the mirror. It was very hard as my hands were trembling."

First use of the term selfie...

The earliest usage of the word selfie has been traced to 2002 when it first appeared in an Australian internet forum (ABC Online) on 13 September in a comment written by Nathan Hope: "Um, drunk at a mates 21st, I tripped ofer and landed lip first (with front teeth coming a very close second) on a set of steps. I had a hole about 1cm long right through my bottom lip. And sorry about the focus, it was a selfie."

Time Immemorial
Post a pic of your mom you lame ass, not of your crushes of 13 year old girls, sicko.

I was going to call bulshit, but it appears the first camera timer was patented in 1902.

Begs the question, why did she use the mirror then?

No idea!
I thought it was a neat factoid though. Thought selfies would be waaay more recent.

And, you been busy? Havent seen you in ages...
