††Photography is the making of pictures on film by the use of a camera, and then printing these pictures on paper.
In 1813, Britain's Frederick Scott Archer became the first person to produce a photographic print from a negative, the basic process still used today. Jacques Daguerre's method appeared in 1839 and rapidly became popular. However, in 1851 Archer invented the superior 'wet-collodian process', and once again moved to the forefront of photographic technology.
