From the perspective of knowledge archaeology, is it correct that photography was born in 1839? why

Hello, I personally think that the statement that photography was born in 1839 is correct, and there is basically no problem. There are other expressions, such as "the year of photography invention in the history of photography is 1839" and so on.

Specifically, 1839, 19 In August, Daguerre announced his invention at the French Academy, that is, "Mr. Daguerre found a way to fix images for a long time". Many times, history is "established". Why not take some discoveries in the history of preoperative photography or post-modern discoveries as the birth year of photography? Because their findings don't have the symbolic meaning of Daguerre's "one river can set the mountain", I won't go into details about this. Yes, Baidu Daguerre. I say this to express that 1839 is not controversial about the birth of photography.

As for my personal perception, it is controversial that the inventor of photography is Daguerre? Or Daguerre+Niepce? This is controversial, because Nieps successfully captured a dim permanent image at 1824 (look, the first person who fixed the image for a long time was actually Mr. Nieps, but the quality may be a bit "unsatisfactory"), but unfortunately, he died at 1833 before he could successfully obtain a more vivid permanent image. Due to health and economic reasons, Nipps cooperated with Daguerre during the period from1829 to1833 before his death, on the basis of continuing to promote photography research and development.

Of course, I don't seem to find any record that Daguerre claimed that this invention was his personal contribution, perhaps it was really a mistake (luck), and he achieved something "symbolic" in his lifetime, so there was what I said above. In fact, you know that there was a Mr. Nips who laid an important foundation for the birth/invention of photography. Personally, I am a little noncommittal about these disputes.

If you are doing academic research, you might as well refer to some world photographic history, such as Mr. Zheng Gu's book, so that you can conduct rigorous research and quote relevant documents.
