It can't be done!. Photography wasn't developed until 1834 and only became common five years later!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No cameras back then!. Everything was represented through
painting, drawing, sculpture, etc!. Go to the library and check
out some books on the art of that century!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
