The selfie stick is a very interesting invention in 2014. But in fact, this stick has a longer history than we thought. A photo of the couple since 1926 shows that they used a selfie stick-like device.

In this picture are Arnold and Helen Hogg, taken together about a year after they got married. What's interesting is that the footnote below is 'Self Taken, Oct 1926' , which means shooting in October 1926.

The picture was taken with a stick taking a selfie with the caption "Self taken, Oct 1926".

We can clearly see that Mr. Hogg took a stick to be able to take a picture of the two with a camera of the time. And surely this is the ancestor of the self-made tree today.

The photo is quite small, only about 5cm and found in a family album by Arnold Hogg's grandson Alan Cleaver. Alan Cleaver said his grandfather was an artist and musician, he did not often take photos and he had never seen a device like the selfie stick that his grandfather left.
