    POTD, short for Photo Of The Day, is our daily article series with images from around the world. Did you know that credit for the first-ever color photograph taken goes to the mathematical physicist James Clerk Maxwell? At a lecture in 1861, he unveiled what is to be considered the first durable color photograph.
