The first  photography was created by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce, a scientifically-minded gentleman from Chalon-sur-Saône, France. Niépce experimented  with photography due to his fascination with the newly-invented art of lithography in 1813. He first placed engravings, made transparent, onto stones coated with light-sensitive varnish of his own composition.

He applied the then-popular optical instrument, the camera obscura that eventually lead him to the invention of the new medium.  In 1824, Niépce succeeded in copying the engravings. Two years later, he utilized pewter plates as the support medium for the process.  In 1826, in the window of his upper-story workroom, he set up a camera obscura, placed within it a polished pewter plate coated with bitumen of Judea  and uncapped the lens. After eight hours of exposure, the plate was removed and the latent image of the view from the window was rendered visible.
