The pics were taken after it was made to show how it was made by the second camera ever made

Really? Time-travelling camera was it?

Because the light is cast onto a rectangular (not square) sensor, originally film.

No, the pics could have been taken by the 1st camera OF the 2nd camera being made. You couldn't use the second camera to photograph the 1st being made, which is what you said. Duh

The first camera was a room, that is where the word camera comes from, the Italian word for room.

The light entered the darkened room through a small aperture ("pinhole") and cast an inverted image onto a screen, allowing an artist to then record the scene using usual artists materials.

Silver nitrate and other light sensitive chemicals were later developments.

Older image recording (ie. sketch pad and pen) could have captured the building of the first camera - although the first camera was a room built without that purpose in mind! It was more of a discovery than an invention.

Is that not a projector?

But that would mean the first picture was drawn and not taken as it say,

Its not actually the first camera, the ancient Greeks had pinhole cameras, Aristotle and Euclid both make reference to them.

the first to successfully make photographic images that lasted any time was an American named walcott.

maybe the images your kids found were of the first camera to use lenses instead of mirrors, with the pictures being taken with an earlier mirror based instrument.

The same reason paint comes in round tins yet doors and walls are rectangular.

Check out Edinburgh's Camera Obscura.

OK. just to clear up a few things:

1/ There are no KNOWN images of the first camera, as opposed to the Camera Obscura used to record the first surviving image, by Joseph Niecephore Niepce in 1826/27. Prior to this, Artist & Photographers including Niepce himself use "Photogravure", and etching process to create the images. Eventually, he devised a method of coating copper plates with bitumen and lavender oil to suspend the silver nitrate necessary for creating a photographic image on copper plate, placing this on the surface of the camera obscura table. This was followed by collaborations with Louis Daguerre, and together, they created the first "camera".

2/ The word "Camera" is from the Latin, not Italian. It means "Vaulted Room"

3/ The infamous picture everyone sees when they google this subject is not the first camera. It is of a giant camera, created 80 years after the invention of the first.
