Answers:
Long before the first public announcements of photographic processes in 1839, Joseph Nicéphore Niépce, a scientifically-minded gentleman living on his country estate near Chalon-sur-Sa?ne, France, began experimenting with photography!. Fascinated with the craze for the newly-invented art of lithography which swept over France in 1813, he began his initial experiments by 1816!. Unable to draw well, Niépce first placed engravings, made transparent, onto engraving stones or glass plates coated with a light-sensitive varnish of his own composition!. These experiments, together with his application of the then-popular optical instrument, the camera obscura, would eventually lead him to the invention of the new medium!.

In 1824 Niépce met with some degree of success in copying engravings, but it would be two years later before he had success utilizing pewter plates as the support medium for the process!. By the summer of that year, 1826, Niépce was ready!. In the window of his upper-story workroom at his Saint-Loup-de-Varennes country house, Le Gras, he set up a camera obscura, placed within it a polished pewter plate coated with bitumen of Judea (an asphalt derivative of petroleum), and uncapped the lens!. After at least a day-long exposure of eight hours, the plate was removed and the latent image of the view from the window was rendered visible by washing it with a mixture of oil of lavender and white petroleum which dissolved away the parts of the bitumen which had not been hardened by light!. The result was the permanent direct positive picture you see here—a one-of-a-kind photograph on pewter!. It renders a view of the outbuildings, courtyard, trees and landscape as seen from that upstairs window!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

i think the camera was a big room letting in light through a small hole in the wall onto some special film and it was of a garden that faced the building!.!.!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
