NIEPCE, JOSEPH NICEPHORE (1765-1833)

This article appears in Volume V19, Page 672 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NEW-NUM
NIEPCE, JOSEPH NICEPHORE (1765-1833) , French physicist, and one of the inventors of photography, was born at Chalon-sur-Saone on the 7th of
March
  1765. In 1792 he entered the army as a sub-
lieutenant
 , and in the following year he saw active service in Italy. Ill-
health
  and failing eyesight compelled him to resign his commission before he had risen above the rank of
lieutenant
 ; but in 1795 he was nominated administrateur of the
district
  of Nice, and he held the post until 18o1. Returning in that year to his birthplace, he devoted himself along with his elder brother Claude (17631828) to mechanical and chemical researches; and in 1811 he directed his attention to the rising art of lithography. In 1813 the
idea
  of obtaining sun pictures first. suggested itself to him in this connexion; and in 1826 he learned that L. J. 1\I. Daguerre was working in the same direction. In 1829 the two united their forces, " pour cooperer au perfectionnement de la decouverte inventee par M. Niepce et perfectionnee par M. Daguerre " (see also PHOTOGRAPHY). Niepce died at Gras, his property near Chalon, on the 3rd of July 1833. A nephew, CLAUDE
FELIx
  ABEL NIEPCE DE SAINT-
VICTOR
  (1805-1870), served with distinction in the army, and also made important contributions towards the advancement of the art of photography; he published Recherches photographiques (Paris, 1855) and Traite pratique de gravure heliographique sur acier et sur verre (Paris, 1866).
