My historical innovation is camera. On a summer day in 1827, I made the first photographic image with a camera obscura.I Prior to the people just used the camera obscura for viewing or drawing purposes not for making photographs. My heliographs or sun prints as they were called were the prototype for the modern photograph, by letting light draw the picture.

  Im the first photographic image with camera obscura - however, the image required eight hours of light exposure and later faded.
