Nicéphore Niépce

Joseph Nicéphore Niépce (March 7, 1765 – July 5, 1833) was a French inventor and photographer, considered one of the fathers of photography.
==Background==
Niépce pioneered the process of photoengraving, considered to be a predecessor to modern photography, and made his first major breakthrough in 1822. An eclectic inventor, he was also the creator of the Pyréolophore and the world's first internal combustion engine.
==Notes==
The photography exam at the Pioneer Scout camp has a question that directly references Niépce. It asks "Nicephore Niepce pioneered photoengraving, a predecessor of photography. When did he make his first major breakthrough?"
==Appearances==
Nicéphore Niépce is mentioned only in Fallout 76, introduced in the Wild Appalachia update.
