Today (July 10, 1851) is the Memorial Day of Louis-Jacques-Daguerre, the first photographer.

Today (July 10, 1851) is the Memorial Day of Louis-Jacques-Daguerre, the first photographer.

Louis-Jacques-Daguerre was born on November 18, 1787, in Paris, France. In France, at a young age, he received vocational training in the fields of architecture, stage design, and painting. He excelled in stage design. He invented a painting technique called diorama, which consists of portraits that appear to be live. The gallery opened in 1822 in Paris.

Eager to create a camera that captures world scenes without color or brush, he embarked on this endeavor. In 1824, Joseph Nichibor Niepce invented the method of capturing photographs. Two years later Daguerre joined him in research in cinematography. This joint venture lasted until Niepce died in 1833. For Daguerre, the purpose of this joint venture was to relate his already famous diorama. Daguerre thought that the video system created by Niepce would help his diorama.

After many years of research, in 1833, Tagore announced a modified video system called the Daguerre type. The license was purchased by the French government and announced as a gift to the world on August 19, 1839. Daguerreouin, Niepce's son, also received an annual sum of money from the French government for this. Louis Daguerre died in France on July 10, 1851, at the age of 63.
