The First Photographs.

For many years Professor Draper had
studied the action Of light in changing
the color Of metallic salts. and he had
long been accustomed TO apply the photo
graphic process to the solution Of physical
problems when Daguerre's discovery was

daguerreotype enthusiastically, made
special study of it. and i'm the same year
