Check-out The World First Photo Taken In 1826


Many people credit Louis Jacques Mandé Daguerre with being the “father of photography.” While he may have been the first to make it practical with his Daguerreotypes (those gorgeous little polished copper (silvered) plates that show such amazing detail). it was really his ill-fated partner, Nicéphore Niépce, who was the world’s first photographer.
Below is the first photograph ever, taken by Nicephore Niepce

Rediscovered in 1952 by photo historians Helmut and Alison Gernsheim, the “First Photograph” was first depicted in this well-known reproduction that was retouched by Helmut Gernsheim prior to its international release. Joseph Nicéphore Niépce's “View from the Window at Le Gras.” 1826 or 1827. Gernsheim Collection, Harry Ransom Center / The University of Texas at Austin.
