The world's earliest known image created exclusively by the action of light was Joseph-Nicéphore Niepce's 1827 photograph of a tree, barn and building. Known as "The View from the Window at La Gras", the image was captured using a Camera Obscura, a device generally credited to Ibn al-Haytham (965-1039 AD). To create the photograph, Niepce focused an inverted image onto a light-sensitized pewter plate coated with a type of asphalt known as Bitumen of Judea. According to some estimates, this photograph required something between several hours and several days to expose.

Did Johann Heinrich Schulze invent the photography?

Johann H. Schultze 1684 - 1744 German - Preformed experiments that paved the way towards chemical based photography. It was known that certain chemicals darkened when exposed to sunlight. In 1727 Professor Schulzte heated silver nitrate. The compound did not darken so heat was eliminated as a cause of blackening. Schultze mixed silver nitrate with chalk and using the chalk like a pencil applied this compound to paper using a stencil. When exposed to sunlight the coated paper darkened. In invention of photography is credited to Nicephore Niece 1765 - 1833 France - who made the first permanent picture, a view from his window using a camera of his design. This first picture was taken in 1827. The picture is currently at Gernsheim Collection, University of Texas at Austin.
