But in fact the first pictures appeared relatively not so long ago. 1826 was the year when the Frenchmen Charles and Vincent Chevalier built the first camera that COULD produce photos, but the principle of making pictures themselves was created by a different person - Joseph Nicephore Niepce. First Camera InventedOnly 58 years later the prototype of a modern device (nowadays known as Kodak) was made by George Eastman. Though the history of this very “stuff” is rather long, a guess we can easily call THIS one the first REAL camera invented.
It is believed that the very idea of creating such a Machine long ago, before the middle ages. An Arab mathematician named Ibn Al-Haytham created the first model of camera, but the principle of its building was well known even earlier, in Aristotle period. Sounds quite impressing, isn’t it?
