This was Nicephore Niepce's first photograph in 1826. It was taken of the view from a window at Le gras. It took 8 hours to make the exposure.
Nicephore Niepce was a french inventor that first invented photography. He didn't have a steady enough hand to trace the inverted images, so he looked for a way to capture the images permanently. He experimented with lithography, helping him attempt a photograph using a camera obscura. He also experimented with silver chloride, but eventually got to bitumen which successfully worked at capturing nature photographically.
