Joseph Nicéphore Niépce infomation
Joseph Nicéphore Niépce was a French inventor, now usually considered as the inventor of photography. Niépce developed heliography, a technique he used to create the world's oldest surviving product of a photographic process: a print made from a photo engraved printing plate in 1825. In 1826 or 1827 he used a primitive camera to produce the oldest surviving photograph of a real-world scene. Among Niépce's other inventions was the Pyréolophore, the world's first internal combustion engine, which he conceived, created, and developed with his older brother Claude.
Early life
Niépce was born in Chalon-sur-Saône, where his father was a wealthy lawyer; this caused the whole family to flee the French Revolution. His older brother Claude (1763–1828) was also his collaborator in research and invention, but died half-mad and broke in England, having squandered the family wealth in pursuit of non-opportunities for the Pyréolophore. Niepce also had a sister and a younger brother called Bernard.
Nicéphore was baptized Joseph but adopted the name Nicéphore, in honour of Saint Nicephorus the ninth-century Patriarch of Constantinople, while studying at the Oratorian college in Angers. At the college he learned science and the experimental method, rapidly achieving success and graduating to work as a professor of the college.
