Studio22:  Find a picture for one of the following dates and post it up on the MPCS2011 blog
 

History of Photography:

Pre-16th Century: camera obscuras used to form images on walls in darkened rooms; image formation via a pinhole

       

16th century: brightness and clarity of camera obscuras improved by enlarging the hole inserting a telescope lens

      

 17th century: camera obscuras in frequent use by artists and made portable in the form of sedan chairs

       

1727: Professor J. Schulze mixes chalk, nitric acid, and silver in a flask; notices darkening on side of flask exposed to sunlight. Accidental creation of the first photo-sensitive compound.

       

1800: Thomas Wedgwood makes "sun pictures" by placing opaque objects on leather treated with silver nitrate; resulting images deteriorated rapidly, however, if displayed under light stronger than from candles.

      

 1816: Nicéphore Niépce combines the camera obscura with photosensitive paper

      

 1826: Niépce creates a permanent image

       

1834: Henry Fox Talbot creates permanent (negative) images using paper soaked in silver chloride and fixed with a salt solution. Talbot created positive images by contact printing onto another sheet of paper.

       

1837: Louis Daguerre creates images on silver-plated copper, coated with silver iodide and "developed" with warmed mercury; Daguerre is awarded a state pension by the French government in exchange for publication of methods and the rights by other French citizens to use the Daguerreotype process.

      

 1841: Talbot patents his process under the name "calotype".

       

1851: Frederick Scott Archer, a sculptor in London, improves photographic resolution by spreading a mixture of collodion (nitrated cotton dissolved in ether and alcoohol) and chemicals on sheets of glass. Wet plate collodion photography was much cheaper than daguerreotypes, the negative/positive process permitted unlimited reproductions, and the process was published but not patented.

       

1853: Nada (Felix Toumachon) opens his portrait studio in Paris
