Nicéphore Niépce

Niepce was a French inventor of photography. Niepce served as a staff officer in the French army under the command of Napoleon in his early life. In 1795, he resigned and went to research of lithography with his brother Claude. Niepce had always been interested in lithography. In 1825, Nicéphore Niépce produced the worlds first photograph, which he is famously known for.
This photograph is very important in history because it is the first. The image is of buildings. It is currently housed in it's original presentation form in Le Gras.
