His blog- rapher says he was a scene painter in Paris and that as early as 1814 his attention was directed by Niepce to together, but it was not until after proc called after him, “Daguérre- otyp Daguerre died in 1851, after having had many honors conferred upon_him, one of those honors being an officership in the Legion of Honor. France settled an annuity of -6,000 francs on him and an annuity of 4.000 francs on the son of Niepce, thus recognizing the part which Niepce had played in the discovery of the photo- graphic process. A biographer of Niepce says that the process devised and applied by this man appeared in 1824, fifteen; years before the process of Daguerré came to the knowledge of the public.
