3 Interesting Facts About The History of Photography

1. The daguerreotype processed was patented by France and was free to the rest of the world and England was the only country that was not allowed to use it because they did not have the patent. This is interesting because it's surprising that such a big market of people in England were cut off from being able to access photography just because one simple patent. 

2. The daguerreotype and callatype were all originals and they could not make copies. This is interesting because this forced people to be perfect on the first attempt and even if people wanted a copy, they had to go through a tedious process to recreate a photo. This just makes me appreciate the technology that we have today because it was a lot more difficult to do simple things that we take for granted today.

3. The Brownie Number One by Kodak only cost $1. This is interesting because this made it possible for so many people to have access to photography. This made photography easily accessible to everyone. The creation of this basically revolutionized photography because it made photography so simple and easy for everyone around the world.
