My Paper on the History of Photography

History of Photography

 1826-Nicéphore Niépce, was a French inventor, usually credited as the inventor of photography and a pioneer in that field in our time. Niépce developed heliography, a technique he used to create the world's oldest surviving product of a photographic process. A print made from a photoengraved printing plate in 1825 in 1826 or 1827, he used a primitive camera to produce the oldest surviving photograph of a real world scene.

1834-William Henry Fox Talbot was a British scientist/inventor and photography pioneer who invented the salted paper and calotype processes, precursors to photographic processes of the later 19th and 20th centuries. His work in the 1840s on photomechanical reproduction led to the creation of the photo glyphic engraving process, the precursor to photogravure.

1837-Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre was a French artist and photographer recognized for his invention of the daguerreotype process of photography.  He became known as one of the fathers of photography. He was also a successful painter and a developer of the diorama theatre.

1851-Frederick Scott Archer invented the photographic collodion process which preceded the modern gelatin emulsion. He was remembered mainly for this single achievement which greatly increased the accessibility of photography for the general public.

1854- André-Adolphe-Eugène Disdéri was a French photographer who started his photographic career as a daguerreotypist but gained greater fame for patenting his version of the Carte de visite a small photographic image which was mounted on a card made this system of mass-production portraiture world famous.

1855- Stereoscopy is a technique for creating or enhancing the illusion of depth in an image by means of stereopsis for binocular vision. Most stereoscopic methods present two offset images separately to the left and right eye of the viewer. These two-dimensional images are then combined in the brain to give the perception of 3D depth.       

1855-1857- ambrotypes tintypes or ferrotypes. A tintype, also known as a melainotype or ferrotype, is a photograph made by creating a direct positive on a thin sheet of metal coated with a dark lacquer or enamel and used as the support for the photographic emulsion. Tintypes enjoyed their widest use during the 1860s and 1870s, but lesser use of the medium persisted into the early 20th century and it has been revived as a novelty in the 21^st.

1861- James Clerk Maxwell was a Scottish scientist in the field of mathematical physics. His most notable achievement was to formulate the classical theory of electromagnetic radiation, bringing together for the first time electricity, magnetism, and light as manifestations of the same phenomenon.

1861-1865- Mathew Brady was one of the first American photographers, best known for his scenes of the Civil War.

1868- Louis Arthur Ducos du Hauron was a French pioneer of colour photography.  He worked on developing practical processes for color photography on the three-color principle, using both additive and subtractive methods.

1870: Center of period in which the US Congress sent photographers out to the West. The most famous images were taken by William Jackson and Tim O'Sullivan.

1871: Richard Leach Maddox was an English photographer and physician who invented lightweight gelatin negative plates for photography.

1877: Eadweard Muybridge was an English photographer important for his pioneering work in photographic studies of motion, and early work in motion-picture projection.

1880- George Eastman was an American innovator and entrepreneur who founded the Eastman Kodak Company and popularized the use of roll film, helping to bring photography to the mainstream.

1888-The box camera was invented. A box camera is a simple type of camera, the most common form being a cardboard or plastic box with a lens in one end and film at the other. They were very popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The lenses are often single element designs meniscus focus lens, or in better quality box cameras a doublet lens with minimal possible adjustments to the aperture or shutter speeds.

1889-The first commercial transparent roll film, perfected by Eastman and his research chemist, was put on the market. The availability of this flexible film made possible the development of Thomas Edison's motion picture camera in 1891. A new corporation - The Eastman Company was formed, taking over the assets of the Eastman Dry Plate and Film Company.

1900-The first of the famous Brownie Cameras was introduced. It sold for $1 and used film that sold for 15 cents a roll. For the first time, the hobby of photography was within the financial reach of virtually everyone.

1907- First commercial color film, the Autochrome plates, manufactured by Lumiere brothers in France
