An early photo of Philadelphia (1839) was taken from the window of the (second) Mint building in Philadelphia. Does that count?

"in the trade" we call pictures like that "test plates" or "bored photographer" images. Stuff done for no real reason.

I like that plate on the main page, especially the big silver one on top in the middle (Who is that?)
