1953 Photograph of the newest super-computer (Oracle) in Lamont, Illinois with it's creator J.C. Chu perched on a ladder and overseeing some final tweaks. An incredible piece of photography from the United Press and in great shape with a full paper caption. One of the earliest images known to exist where the computer itself is the subject of a photograph!
