When were the black and white photos developed?

The first photo recognized in the world was taken by Nipps, a Frenchman, in 1827.

Nipps (1765 March 7th-1833 July 5th) was a French inventor.

The first photo recognized in the world was taken in 1827 by Niepce, a Frenchman, but now it is recognized that the inventor of photography in the world is Daguerre, France. Nipps, a photographer who was not noticed by the public, took the world's first photo. At that time, there were many problems to be solved in the production of photography. As early as Aristotle and China Mozi's time, people discovered the mystery of pinhole imaging. Until today, the principle of pinhole imaging is still applicable to photography, but the important reason that hindered photography production at that time was that a method of saving images had not been invented.

1825, Frenchman Nipps entrusted French optical instrument businessman Charles Chevalier to make optical lenses for his camera box. 1827 (it is said to be 1826), the photosensitive material he invented was put into a cassette, and the first photographic work in history was shot and recorded. The work was shot in his home in Burgundy, France, and shot through the window in his attic for more than 8 hours.

1829 partnered with Daguerre to learn photography together.

1On July 5th, 833, Niepce died unexpectedly.

1839, the French Academy of Science and Art announced that Daguerre had obtained a patent for photography.
