The world’s first permanent photograph was taken in 1827 and was titled View from the Window at Le Gras. The first photo in the world was created by an inventor from France named Nicéphore Niépce. But what was portrayed in the oldest photo ever created?
Niépce reportedly made attempts at comparatively tiny camera images on papers coated with silver chloride, according to messages to his sister-in-law written around 1816.
Francis Bauer fought for Niépce’s claim to be recognized as the first inventor of a method for creating irreversible images after the photographic methods of Henry Fox Talbot and Louis Daguerre were made public in January 1839.
