Nicephore came from a wealthy family (his father being a lawyer), so durning the French revolution him an his whole family fled. He is most famous for the world's first "photograph" that was produced in 1825. Nicephore was a pioneer in the field of photography creating photographic etchings in the 17th century, such as a man with a horse and a woman spinning a wheel. Nicephore was around when the camera obscura was out but he had a very uneasy hand and couldn't race the images from the obscura. By this frustration it attempted to create an image permanently, experimenting with lithography.
