A detailed and interesting account of the three inventors of Photography- Niepce ; Daguerre and Talbot.By Aleta LandaicheThis is an excellent book that takes you through the rather convoluted partnership of Niepce and Daguerre in their quest to create the worlds first practical photographic method- the Daguerreoptype. Henry Talbot is also given his due as inventing the Calotype paper negative process which is shown to lead to Frederick Scott Archers wet plate negative process.The book is written to an eye toward the social and political history of the day and takes what would be a dry subject for most- especially if merely presenting the technical steps taken in these mens quest into a portrait of the men; their families and their unique personalities and genius.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. for the lover of the origins of photographyBy Ken MitchellI am fascinated with that time in history as well as the origins of photography. This is an entertaining and informative story of both. I really enjoyed the 1st half of the book; but thought the last 30 % was repetitive. That all said; happy with the time spent reading it.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Good read!By BenitaAs a photography (and photo history) teacher; this was a joy to read. Very light for the most part; but some interesting new info that I had not found before. Written well enough to be enjoyed by anyone interested in history in general; I think this was a fun read.
