Louis Daguerre (1789-1851), French inventor of practical photography. Although originally employed as a tax officer, Daguerre became a painter of opera scenery, and invented the illuminated diorama. After this he started work with Niepce on chemicals sensitive to light. Niepce died in 1833, but Daguerre continued their work, and unveiled his first camera, the Daguerreotype, in 1839. This is a copy of a lithograph made from a daguerrotype taken in 1848.
