Description
A daguerrotype of Louis-Jacques-Mande Daguerre, the French physicist and inventor whose photographic innovation was the beginning of popular photography. Though his collaborator had successfully taken a photograph a few years earlier, it required an 8-hour exposure, and the quality was poor. Daguerre's process made photography practical by reducing exposure time to only 20 to 30 minutes.
