In 1829 French artist and chemist Louis Daguerre, when obtaining a camera obscura for his work on theatrical scene painting from the optician Chevalier, was put into contact with Nicéphore Niépce, who had already managed to make a record of an image from a camera obscura using the process he invented: heliography. [14] Daguerre met with ...
19th century printed reproduction of a still life believed to be a circa 1832 Niépce physautotype (glass original accidentally destroyed circa 1900) [1]. The physautotype (from French, physautotype) was a photographic process, invented in the course of his investigation of heliography, by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce and Louis Jacques Mandé Daguerre [2] in 1832, in which images were produced by ...

Gouraud in his 1845 book. François Fauvel Gouraud (1808 – 16 June 1847) was a French expert in photography and mnemonics. [1]He was most known as an expert on daguerreotypes, which in January 1839 had become the first publicly announced photographic process, invented in France by Louis Daguerre (1787–1851).
Unlike a daguerreotype, the process produced a negative, which could be replicated. A major complication, however, was that the photographer had only ten minutes from the coating of the plate to the development of the photograph in which to take the picture. One needed a portable darkroom to use it properly. [5]
The development of mechanical clock drives meant cameras attached to telescopes could eventually capture successful images of celestial objects. The first known attempt at astronomical photography was by Louis Jacques Mandé Daguerre , inventor of the daguerreotype process which bears his name, who attempted to photograph the Moon in 1839.
Daguerre showed this image to Samuel Morse at his studio in March 1839. Morse later described this daguerreotype in a letter which was published in April 1839 in The New York Times . [ 8 ] In October 1839, as a publicity effort, he presented King Ludwig I of Bavaria with a framed triptych of his work in which this photograph was the right hand ...
