The Daguerre street scene is the first photograph of a human being: the fellow having his shoes shined was the only one who stood still long enough to register on the plate.

The problem with his "essence of photography" was that it took single, unique images. William Henry Fox Talbot - at roughly the same time - had invented the negative-positive process which allowed the production of multiple copies. For a century and a half, until the invention of digital photography, that was how photographs were made. To me, that is the "essence of photography." Best wishes from Vermont ❄️

@JimPigProductions

The mystery behind that photo was recently solved. The photo is not a Wedgewood photo, but made by an amateur named Sarah Anne Bright, Circa 1839-1840. The "W" on the photo was the mark of William West, an entrepreneur who sold photogenic stock paper to those interested in experimenting with photography. I thought of including it when making this video, but left it out because by 1839, contact photos seemed less interesting when compared with other groundbreaking photos from the same time. Accounts of Wedgewood's experiments reveal that his photos of 1800 - 1802 were microscopically small, blurry, and had to be viewed by candle light only, or they would fade in seconds. So far, no authentic Wedgewood photos have been found.

Niepce's earliest experiments were photographically created copies of artwork, made as a proof of concept, before he attempted to photograph scenes of nature like the scene from Le Gras. The subject matter is a 17th century Flemish engraving, but you are not looking at the original, you are looking at his Heliograph of it. Therefore, it IS a photograph

Many experimenters were trying to invent photography years before 1826. Angelo Sala was the first to discover that paper would turn black in sunlight when wrapped around silver nitrate, in 1614. In 1727, Johann Schulze was the first to create an image on a prepared page from sunlight. Thomas Wedgewood took impractical photos as early as c. 1798. And Niepce himself began photo experiments in 1816 ... but until 1822, no one knew how to 'fix' the image to make it permanent. Sadly, Niepce's 1822 experiment is lost. The 1826 view from Le Gras is a milestone as the first successful fixed image from nature.
