To make the first permanent photograph,

Joseph Nicenhore Eepce commenced
his experiments about 1914. His work
was almost exclusively in asphalt, the

plate become dry and exposed 1t in

He finally succeeded in making the first
permanent photograph in the year 1894.
Niepce afterWard entered into partner

a long series Of experiments which cul-

Photography is more or less familiar
to every one 1t is interesting to trace
its wonderful development from earli
est times down to the present day.
Way back in the thirteenth century
1t is claimed the camera obscura was
invented by Bacon. and probably more
or less improved by Porta in the six
teenth century
The alchemists of those days dis
covered that chloride of silver was
blackened by light but no use seems

photogra phed the solar spectrum By
projecting 1t upon a sheet of paper
which was previously busted over with
pulverized lunar caustic
In 1909 Wedgewood and Davy made
photogra phs by placing a man in strong
sunlight. so that his profile was projected
upon a wall. A sheet of paper which had
previously been immersed in a solution OF
nitrate of silver and dried was then
pinned upon the wall to receive the
image. This, after a considerable ex-
posture, produced profile portrait in
white upon a black ground.
They also obtained impressions OK OBJ

ur-to-date methods. 1t is claimed. do not
produce the flneness and satisfactory re-
suits obtained by the old slow method
on the silver plate. The picture is toned
with gold. thus producing q wonderful
clearness. likeness and detail that has
defied the march of progress and inven-
ton
The daguerrotype was first produced in
1S'S? and in the same year came. also the
Talbotype. a process by which chloride
OF silver was used successfully on paper
The first negative of the Talbot process
"calotype" was produced in 1870 After
this came the collodion negative on glass.

ent day method of photography, known
as the Selatine- bromide emulsion process.

than 300 little models pertaining to pho
Biography. These models will be trans

Office to become a part Of the exhibit in
the Smithsonian. as IT is intended the

plays OF the institution
Another interesting series Of photo
graphs are those Of the solar eclipse

the most remarkable ever taken. In
all eight negatives were secured with
one hundred and thirty five foot
telescope. twelve with one-hundred-

in the collection.
The unusual method by which these
photographs were taken is OF interest
