Photography is one of the most impactful discoveries in history. It meant that instead of relying on only written word a society and its people could not record their history through visual evidence to back up the written word.

∙ 14y agoPhotography was the perfect solution to art in the time of the enlightenment; scientific, reasonablewithout unnecessary flourishes. However the invention of photography changed the value of art - it could no longer be stated that art made after the invention of photography was only valuable as a snapshot of that time period; for that was the job of the camera. In a sense art was given a higher value as it portrayed a personal perception connected with historical events and philosophy.
