Louis Jacques Mandé Daguerre was born on November 18, 1787 in Cormeilles-en-Parisis. He died on July 10, 1851 in Bry-sur-Marne (Val-de-Marne). Daguerre began his career as a painter, before becoming a theater set designer. In 1830, he continued the work begun a few years earlier by his associate Nicéphore Niépce, and invented a revolutionary photographic process that would later be known as the "daguerreotype". The official date for the invention of photography is January 7, 1839, when the daguerreotype was presented to the Académie des Sciences.
