Nicephore Niepce
A. Nicephore Niepce was a man very well known for producing the world’s first
photograph in 1825. Niepce was born in Chalon-sur-Saone, Saonie-et-Loire, and
had two brothers and a sister. His father, being a lawyer, caused his family to
move during the French Revolution. Niepce also served as a staff officer in the
French army under the command of Napoleon.
B. Niepce was entirely known for creating the first successful
photograph in 1826 at Saint-Loup-de Varennes. The photo is pretty much a view
through a window at Le Gras, and shows the roof and surrounding countryside.
C. The most important purpose of this photograph is because it
really is the first photograph to go down first in history. Also how it was
made was very different, made with bitumen, sunlight and water.
D. The photo was taken from the view outside the upstairs window
at his estate at Le Gras.
E. The total exposure he used lasted 8 hours.
F. This photo was taken in 1825.
Extra Credit: The photograph is located in the lobby of Harry
Ransom Humanities Research Center.
