The document summarizes key changes and discoveries in photography throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. Camera obscura was made portable in the 17th century in France. Prof. J. Schulze discovered the first way to record a permanent image in 1727. In 1839, Louis Dagierre and Joseph Nicecpe introduced the daguerreotype process, allowing for higher quality images on silver-plated copper plates, making photography faster and more accessible. Henry Fox Talbot then introduced the calotype process in 1841 using paper coated with silver iodide, enabling unlimited prints. Further developments like chemical re-touching, larger prints, and the introduction of the first photographic studio system by Adolphe Disder
