I may be wrong, but I think the point is that this is the earliest known
"photograph," from 1825, I believe. So it would make sense that it is of a
drawing, a static object.

The earliest known photograph of a person (I thought) was Daguerre's
shot of Boulevard du Temple in 1839.
The time expose was so long that pedestrians and vehicles are blurs;
with the exception of one man getting his shoes shined.
