While Paris was also known as the City of Lights, do you know that there were also two famous “Light” brothers in Paris that were crucial to the development of photography technology? MIT scholar Catherine Clark, who has published a book “Paris and the Cliché of History”, once said to MIT news that “The French think of photography as their own invention, and there is a national heritage element to it.” The daguerreotype process was the common photography process used until the 1860s and was mostly used to capture portraits or landscape scenes.
