History of the art:
The history of photography dates back to the early 19th century when inventors like Joseph Nicéphore Niépce and Louis Daguerre pioneered the development of photographic processes. Niépce produced the world's first permanent photograph in 1826, using a process known as heliography, while Daguerre introduced the daguerreotype in 1839, which revolutionized photography with its remarkable clarity and detail. These early techniques laid the foundation for the modern art and science of photography.

Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, photography underwent rapid advancements, with the invention of new techniques and equipment. The introduction of roll film by George Eastman in the late 19th century made photography more accessible to the masses, leading to the popularity of amateur photography. The 20th century saw the rise of iconic photographers such as Ansel Adams, Henri Cartier-Bresson, and Dorothea Lange, whose works continue to inspire generations of photographers.
