[edit] Earliest known photograph
There seems to be a contradiction in the article with the paragraph stating "the earliest known example of a Niépce photograph (or any other photograph) was created in June or July of 1827 or 1826" — and the final paragraph, which states that an earlier photograph dated from 1825 was recently discovered. Is there some disagreement as to the authenticity of the latter? If not, then the earlier statement should be modified to reflect this development. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.177.171.117 (talk) 22:54, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit]
What was sold was an heliography not a photography. Here's the first photography : http://www.sycamore-square.com/suite403-1.htm Ericd 18:26, 20 May 2004 (UTC)
Here's the link that was removed: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/1885093.stm
The BBC link calls it a type of photography. Perhaps in absence of something more definitive, links to both could be included in the article. Both seem to be important examples of Niepce's early work. -- Infrogmation 20:09, 20 May 2004 (UTC)
You can include the link. But despite the fact that the BBC is supposed to be a serious media it contradicts all serious historians about the birth of photography. What was sold is not a photography it's more something like a photocopy. IMO the article has to be substantially reworked about to emphasize about difference between photography/heliography/litography, but this something over my skills...

[edit] Name
Niepce isn't another way of spelling his name. It's mearly a bastidardised way of spelling his name.

[edit] Pronunciation
I'm in a photography class at my high school and we are currently covering the history of photography. Obviously Mr. Niépce has to be mentioned, yet I get the feeling that my teacher is clueless on how his name is pronounced. (She pronounces it like Neep- kay) Is she correct? If not, what is the correct pronunciation?Deyyaz [ Talk | Contribs ] 22:31, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, you're absolutely right, your teacher is clueless. The correct pronunciation is Nee-eps (the second syllable is between eps and apes). Good for you for being skeptical! Pinkville (talk) 01:43, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
