Louis Daguerre

1787 - 1851

Louis Jacques Daguerre is considered the man who succeeded in revealing the first practical method of solar imaging.

Daguerre was born in 1787 in the city of Cormeille, in northern France, and in his youth he was an artist. Hassam (Diorama), which is a picture seen through a hole in the wall of a dark room (resembling a box of the world) (The Wonderful Box). While he was busy with this work, he became interested in producing. For the natural world without using brushes, colors and in other words a camera.

His first attempts to make a camera were unsuccessful, and in 1827 he met one of those interested in this work, Joseph Nipsey.

So they became partners. In 1833 Nipsey died, but Daguerre insisted on his efforts. The year 1837 did not come until he succeeded in inventing a practical system for solar imaging, which was called: in his name.

In the year 1839, his invention became available to the public, but he did not request a patent for it, so the French government took the initiative to grant a pension to him or the son of his deceased partner (Nipsey). His method of photography spread enormously, and after a short period of time Daguerre retired and died in 1851 in his home near Paris.

Few inventions have the same benefits as Dajuri's invention. This invention is practically and effectively used in all fields of scientific research and has wide applications in various aspects, industrially and militarily. It is a dangerous art for some people and a fun hobby for many millions of others. Photographs give us information about culture, journalism, and advertising, as well as being the best souvenirs, and they perpetuate memories and occasions. Cinema is considered as a complementary and auxiliary development of solar imaging.

It is noted that there are very few inventions made by one man, and it is certain that the work and efforts of many men paved the way for the invention of Daguerre. In 1839, the English scientist William Henry Fox Talbot announced that he had. road . It is new, which is making negative drafts first (as is the case these days). It is interesting to say that Talbot was busy with other projects, so he did not care to pursue his invention. If he did, he would have deserved the title of inventor of photography before Daguerre.
