Photography, as we know 1t today,
did not just happen" overnight.
The cameras, films, chemicals and
papers that function for us are the
result of more than a century OF
painstaking investigation and re-
search by Photographic scientists
of the world. Although scientists in
many countries had recognized the
possibility of recording an image
by mechanical means through the
use of light, it was not until 1889
that a Frenchman, L. j. M. Da-
guerre, announced a practical and
successful method of making per-
manent Photographic records. This
process, known as daguerreotypy,
remained high in public favor for
over IS years and was still being
practiced as late as 1870.
AS young man, Daguerre was an
artist who made his living through
the diorama, which was a succession
of scenes painted on a canvas that
moved slowly before the eyes Of the
audience. Since the production Of
a diorama undoubtedly entailed a
great deal Of painstaking work, it
probably occurred to the artist that
there must be some easier way to
produce the long series of pictures
that were necessary for a produc-
ton of that kind to be successful.
He therefore proceeded with ex-
periments along the lines followed
by others.
Daguerre Had a Partner.
Daguerres efforts met with little
success until 1926 when he met a
fellow countryman, Joseph Niceph-
ore Niepce, who was engaged in SIM
liar research. Forming a partner
ship, the two men pooled their in
formation which ultimately resulted
in the discovery of the first sue
cessful Photographic process. Just
what part Niepce played in the dis
covery is obscure since he died
several years prior to the announce
ment by his partner. However, since
the name of Daguerre was given to
the process he has generally been
accepted as the inventor.
incidentally, Daguerre was one of
the very few inventors who lived to
receive credit for a major invention
or to profit thereby. After unsuc-
cessful attempts to commercialize
