health and drive him mad, Mime. Daguerre
consulted M Dumas. But she ceased to worry
when the eminent physicist assured her that
it was not at ali impossible to catch and hold
the image in the camera, though such
process had then been perfected. If it were
humanity possible she believed her husband
would sooner or later accomplish his purpose.
Meantime Daguerre learned through opti-
clan that another FrenChman, Nicephore
Niecpe, was conducting experiments similar to
his own and arranged for an interview with
him. In consequence they formed partner
ship and worked together on the project until
Niecpe's death in 1888. The registered agree
ment, dated December IA, 1929, recently
added to the section of photography in the
National Museum. Niecpe is in fact accred-
tied with making the first picture in 1922,
heilograph produced by the asphalt process
Obviously it was nothing to brag about; hardly
more than smudge, it seems. Niecpe dis
carded the process for a more practical method.
Undaunted by the death of his partner,
Daguerre carried until he attained his COW
eted goal. 1t is remarkably singular, though
that the indomitable Frenchman, after years
of exhaustive research and experimentation,
should make his great discovery quite fortui-
tously. While he one day pursuing his
favorite hobby-catching images in his camera

was interrupted by caller. As the plate had
been only briefly exposed, no picture registered
on it, so Daguerre tossed it into cabinet
among his chemical compounds. He could
hardly believe his own eyes when he CHANGED

at Paris. Thus the secret of the Photographic
art, unhampered by patent, given to the
world through an act of the French govern
ment signed by King Louis PHILIPPE.
NJ Daguerre was born at Carmelles viii
lage near Paris in 1889 the selfsame year that
witnessed the advent of the French Revolution
and the election of the first President in the
United States; also three years after the pass
ing Of Robert Burns, the noted Scottish bard,
who longed for some power the giftie gle us
to see ourselves as ithers U.S."
Prior TO the discovery of his Photographic
process, Daguerre won distinction in the role
Of q scene painter. In fact, it was the execu-
ton Of his dioramic views which suggested to
him the potentially of photography. Daguerre
employed the camera obscura in his panoramic
scene-painting activities. 1t projected the image
OF landscapes and other objects on the canvas
so as to be easily sketched in, thus affording
natural reproduction of the subject. He had
also discovered that chemically treated metal
plates would, after several hours exposure in
the camera, retain a faint impression of the
object; but 1t would soon fade away. That led
him TO wonder If it were not possible to de-
Velop process whereby the images might be
caught and permanently recorded on the plate.
According to Greek mythology, the camera
obscura dates back TO the time of Euclid, 300
BIC 1t is also recorded that Apollo took a
full-length likeness of Mardias and hung it
on a tree But as neither of these gentlemen
described his process the traditions must be
taken with a grain of salt. Baptsta Porta,
1t seems, first described the camera obScura
about the middle Of the sixteenth century.
