	Louis Daguerre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Daguerre announced the latest perfection of the Daguerreotype, after years of experimentation, in 1839, with the French Academy of Sciences announcing the process on January 9 of that year.
		Daguerre's patent was acquired by the French Government, and, on August 19, 1839, the French Government announced the invention was a gift "Free to the World." However, Daguerre himself deposed the patent for England on August 12, and this greatly slowed the development of photography in Great Britain.
		Daguerre discovered that exposing the silver first to iodine vapour, before exposure to light, and then to mercury fumes after the photograph was taken, could form a latent image; bathing the plate in a salt bath then fixes the image.

		He assisted Pierre Prévost (1764-1823) in the execution of panoramic views of Rome, Naples, London, Jerusalem, and Athens, and subsequently (July 11, 1822), in conjunction with Bouton, he opened at Paris the Diorama, an exhibition of pictorial views, the effect of which was heightened by changes in the light thrown upon them.
		On the same day a bill was presented to the chambers, according to the provisions of which Daguerre and the heir of Niepce were to receive annuities of 6000 and 4000 francs respectively, on the condition that their process should be made known to the Academy.
		The bill having been approved at the meetings of the two chambers on the 9th of July and on the 2nd of August, Daguerre's process, together with his system of transparent and opaque painting, was published by the government, and soon became generally known.

		The text is accompanied by a full-page illustration of a portrait of Daguerre with surrounding ornamentation.
		At this epoch, therefore, we find that Daguerre was an artist of merit in his particular line who had made a study of, and had introduced many novel optical effects into, scenic display in the theatre.
		From every point of view, the grand discovery of Daguerre is one of the most useful that has signalized the century we live in; and its possibilities seem all the greater when we consider its earlier achievements in the light of present adaptability to the multitude of purposes for which it may be employed.

		DAGUERRE, LOUIS JACQUES MANDÉ [Daguerre, Louis Jacques Mandé], 1789-1851, French scene painter and physicist, inventor of the daguerreotype, a photograph produced on a silver-coated copper plate treated with iodine vapor.
		Known first for his illusionistic painted stage sets, Daguerre attracted further attention as the inventor and exhibitor, with C. Bouton, of the diorama (pictorial views seen with changing lighting), shown at the Diorama in Paris.
		Daguerre completed the invention of the daguerreotype alone, and in 1839 it was made public and ceded to the Academy of Sciences, only a few weeks before the rival invention of the calotype was announced by William Henry Fox Talbot.

	Louis-Jacques-Mande Daguerre
		Daguerre was making experiments for a long time, aspiring to lighten reproducing of images in his diorama, and together with Joseph Nicephore Niepce (1765-1833), who was working since 1814 in this sphere, he developed the procedure of obtaining a non-disappearing image with the help of light.
		In 1833 Niepce died, and Daguerre suspended the development, started together, for some time, but in 1839 he announced about the invention of a new process, which he named daguerrotypy.
		The image was obtained by means of exposition of a plate, coated with a layer of silver iodide, in the sunlight, and then it was fixed with mercury fumes and natrium hyposulfite.

		In November 1789, Louis Jacques Mandé Daguerre was born near paris, in the village of Cormeilles.
		Daguerre was proficient with the use of the camera obscura as an aid to painting in perspective, mainly in use for his thatrical set designs.
		In 1824 Daguerre began his research on developing a photographic technique, based on work performed by Thomas Wedgwood in 1806, using plates of metal and glass and variations in light sensitive coatings.

		Louis Daguerre was born on November 18, 1787, at Cormeilles-en-Parisis.
		In 1822 Daguerre and Charles Bouton developed the diorama, a large-scale peep show in which a painting on a large translucent screen was seemingly animated by the skillful play of light on each side.
		Daguerre used the camera obscura to make sketches for his stage designs and, like so many others, wished to avoid the tedious tracing and fix the image chemically.

		In fact, Daguerre had been searching since the mid-1820s for a means to capture the fleeting images he saw in his camera obscura, a draftsman's aid consisting of a wood box with a lens at one end that threw an image onto a frosted sheet of glass at the other.
		Neither Daguerre's microscopic nor his telescopic daguerreotypes survive, for on March 8, 1839, the Diorama—and with it Daguerre's laboratory—burned to the ground, destroying the inventor's written records and the bulk of his early experimental works.

	A History of Photography, by Robert Leggat: DAGUERRE, Louis Jacques Mande
		He began work as an apprentice architect, and at the age of sixteen was an assistant stage designer in a Paris theatre, his elaborate stage designs winning him considerable acclaim.
		We have much pleasure in announcing an important discovery made by M. Daguerre, the celebrated painter of the Diorama.
		M. Daguerre has discovered a method to fix the images which are represented at the back of a camera obscura; so that these images are not the temporary reflection of the object, but their fixed and durable impress, which may be removed from the presence of those objects like a picture or an engraving."
