The daguerreotype, introduced in 1839 by Louis Daguerre, was the first commercially successful photographic process, marking a significant advancement in visual representation. It allowed for detailed, permanent images to be created on a polished metal plate coated with silver iodide, revolutionizing portraiture and documentation. This innovation paved the way for modern Photography, influencing both art and science by providing a new means of capturing reality. Its impact on society facilitated the spread of visual culture and the preservation of moments in history.
