1816 Nicephore Niepce obtains a negative image in the camera obscura, on paper sensitized with silver chloride.
1817 Niepce abandons silver chloride and experiments with various chemicals likely to fix the "action of light" such as bitumen of judea.
1819 John Herschel, a Chemist, synthesizes hyposulfite of soda (sodium thiosulfte)
1822 Niepce discovers a new photoengraving process which he calls "heliography"
1825 Chevalier, an optician hears of Nicephore's work and he talks to Daguerre about Niepces work.
1827 Niepce goes to England to visit his dying brother. He becomes friends with Francis Bauer and offers him some of his Heliographs among which;

1829 Niepce agrees to work with Daguerre. An agreement is concluded on Dec. 14th in Chalon sur Saone.
1830 Niepce combines iodine and silver (which is photo-sensitive) on copper plate.
