A vintage camera rests on a wooden table beside a dimly lit desk lamp. Scattered across the surface are several aged, faded photographs, showing families and children in various settings. The overall scene evokes a nostalgic feeling, reminiscent of treasured memories preserved over time. The worn condition of both the photos and camera adds to the antique aesthetic.
Nicéphore Niépce, in 1826, used a sliding wooden box camera made by Charles and Vincent Chevalier in Paris, France to make the first permanent camera photograph by coating a pewter plate with bitumen and exposing the plate in this camera. The bitumen hardened where light struck. The unhardened areas were then dissolved away. This photograph still survives.
