Photographic invention

Daguerre France 1839

1787 Daguerre was born in the northern French town of Comey. When he was young, he was an artist. When he was about thirty-five, he designed a western-style mirror to show a panoramic picture with special lighting effects. While doing this work, he became interested in a landscape device that can automatically reproduce the world without brushes and pigments-in other words, a camera. Previously, Daguerre tried to invent a usable camera, but failed. He met Joseph Nissefer Nepsey at 1827. He has been trying to invent the camera, and in a sense he has succeeded. Two years later, they became partners. 1833 Niepce died, but Daguerre continued his efforts. 1837, he successfully invented a practical photography called Daguerre photography. 1August 839 19, Daguerre announced his technology to the world, but he didn't get the patent right. However, the French government offered a lifelong gift to the sons of Daguerre and Nipps as a reward. The announcement of Daguerre's invention caused a great sensation among the public. Daguerre became a generation of heroes, enjoying all the splendor. At the same time, Daguerre photography was quickly and widely used. Daguerre himself retired soon and died in his hometown near Paris in 185 1.
