About Niépce’s Camera Obscura Icons for iPhoto and Aperture
Nicéphore Niépce made it first possible to preserve an image (you can call it first photograph) taken with a camera obscura in 1826 or 1827, calling it Heliography. The photography you can find in the iPhoto icon is the First Photograph “View from the Window at Le Gras”, produced as a Heliography and dated to 1826 or 1827. The Camera Obscura seen in this icon set is a drawing of the replica of Niépce’s Camera Obscura which you can find in Chalon-sur-Saône, France in Niépce’s house.
