Joseph Necephore Niepce 1765-1833 Lived in both France and England.
Known for creating the first photograph in June/July 1827 and Heliographs, that used asphalt,that,
when exposed to light, would harden. Then the remaining areas, that were not exposed to light, were
then dissolved to leave the light areas as bitumen and the dark areas as bare metal.
He later tried to promote his discovery through the Royal Society in England but the Society would
not publish his findings.
Thus, Niepce went back to France where he teamed up with Louis Daguerre in 1829 until he died at age 69.
