Dada a enorme quantidade de informação que recolhi, este blog encontra-se em ainda organização.)</subtitle><link rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#feed' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fotohist.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4245614002989422478/posts/default?max-results=100'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fotohist.blogspot.com/'/><link rel='hub' href='http://pubsubhubbub.appspot.com/'/><link rel='next' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4245614002989422478/posts/default?start-index=101&amp;max-results=100'/><author><name>Manuel Magalhães</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18082236875311390575</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nDJbVtaNYZE/SbW9Wtu9fFI/AAAAAAAAALw/-pgO9AV7-MA/S220/EU.jpg'/></author><generator version='7.00' uri='http://www.blogger.com'>Blogger</generator><openSearch:totalResults>1044</openSearch:totalResults><openSearch:startIndex>1</openSearch:startIndex><openSearch:itemsPerPage>100</openSearch:itemsPerPage><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4245614002989422478.post-8785344128317808737</id><published>2010-09-06T00:17:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2010-09-06T00:18:09.758+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hercules Florence - 1833: a descoberta isolada da fotografia no Brasil'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Boris Kossoy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='1833'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hercules Florence'/><title type='text'>1833, 21 de Janeiro - HERCULES FLORENCE - 1833: a descoberta isolada da fotografia no Brasil</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt; &lt;table style="border-collapse: collapse; mso-table-layout-alt: fixed; mso-padding-alt: 0pt 3.55pt 0pt 3.55pt" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr style="height: 3.5pt"&gt; &lt;td style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-left: 3.55pt; width: 39.35pt; padding-right: 3.55pt; height: 3.5pt; padding-top: 0pt" valign="top" width="52"&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: center; tab-stops: 425.25pt" class="MsoNormal" align="center"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"&gt;1833&lt;?xml:namespace prefix = o /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: center; tab-stops: 425.25pt" class="MsoNormal" align="center"&gt;&lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 8pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt"&gt;21 de Janeiro&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-left: 3.55pt; width: 72pt; padding-right: 3.55pt; height: 3.5pt; border-top: medium none; border-right: windowtext 0.5pt solid; padding-top: 0pt" valign="top" width="96"&gt; &lt;p class="BodyText3"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal; font-size: 7pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HERCULES FLORENCE&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: center; tab-stops: 425.25pt" class="MsoNormal" align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 7pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;- 1833: a descoberta isolada da fotografia no Brasil&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: center; tab-stops: 425.25pt" class="MsoNormal" align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 8pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Boris Kossoy&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;,&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="BodyText3"&gt;( 2ª Edição.

Vous voyez tout cela.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 17.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;Quand vous entrez sous la coupole éclairée, l'immensité de la Forêt-Noire se déroule à vos yeux; la lune jette d'aplomb ses clartés que les arbres de la haute forêt rendent inégales; le chemin seul est éclairé d'une vive lumière. Là vous apercevez le cadavre d'une femme: c'est celui de la comtesse de Hartzfeld, qui vient d'être assassinée; au-dessous, à quelques toises, le chapeau galonné de son domestique et des traces de sang sur le pont d'un torrent, dont la rampe est brisée, attestent quelle résistance cet homme a faite pour défendre sa maîtresse. A gauche, un feu allumé par les bandits se consume lentement. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 17.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;C'est alors que vos yeux, familiarisés avec l'aspect du tableau, commencent à en découvrir toutes les beautés. Dans la plus lointaine perspective, la Forêt-Noire parsemée de quelques arbres rares permet de découvrir la grande chaîne des Alpes qui parcourt tout le littoral du Rhin; trois pics énormes, dont les interstices ont fait surgir des sapins et des mélèzes, la dérobent un instant à la vue, pour la laisser apparaître de nouveau, plus haute, plus vigoureuse, et semée des flancs à la crête de hêtres, de chênes et de sapins séculaires, qui viennent, en ondulations capricieuses, s'abaisser am pieds du spectateur. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 17.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;Puis c'est la lune qui semble s'être dégagée des nuages pour tout éclairer; l'étoile de Cyrus qui scintille, et dans les interstellaires quelques nuages blanchâtres qui glissent sur l'azur des cieux. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 17.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;En contemplant ces grandes choses, vous avez l'ame émue; on oublie la balustrade sur laquelle on est appuyé; on se croit transporté dans cette vieille et froide Allemagne; on craint de voir surgir à ses côtés les assassins! Cette vague lumière bleuâtre, cette légère teinte de brouillard qui se répandent sur tout le paysage, contribuent à rendre l'illusion plus complète encore. Puis c'est le ravin où l'on distingue l'empreinte des pieds, l'herbe touffue du chemin qui vacille, et plus bas le pont de bouleaux, le pont grossier jeté avec tant d'art sur le lit profond et desséché du vieux torrent! &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 17.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;M.

il est initié à tous les secrets de l'art, il possède toutes les inspirations.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 17.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging;

&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;l'Angleterre, plus généreuse que nous pour les grands talens.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;

Dans ce moment encore, il vous offre en même temps la Forêt-Noire et le tombeau de Napoléon, la vallée de Chamouny et Venise, tout cela pris sur les lieux, vrai d'une incroyable vérité. Ces trois premiers tableaux, il faut le dire hautement, sont des chefs- d'œuvre; le dernier exposé surtout, la Forêt-Noire , est capable de ravir l'imagination la plus froide. Hélas ! M. Daguerre recueille, pour fruit de ses travaux, 20,000 francs de perte par an! C'est &lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold"&gt;un &lt;/span&gt;suicide. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 17.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;Comment notre&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;gouvernement, qui cherche avec tant de soin à faire revivre les idées de Napoléon, ne songet-il pas à soutenir ce bel établissement? Que Napoléon entendait bien autrement la gloire et l'intérêt du pays! Napoléon avait payé, en différentes fois, pour 800,000 francs de dettes à Talma; un de ses frères lui faisant remarquer l'énormité de cette somme, Napoléon répondit: « Ah !que la France devrait encore &lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold"&gt;à &lt;/span&gt;Talma, si elle comptait avec lui! « Qui peut calculer en effet tout l'argent que le génie du tragédien a fait importer en France par ses admirateurs? &lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold"&gt;Eh &lt;/span&gt;bien! le Diorama concourt, lui aussi, à attirer les étrangers à Paris, et le gouvernement ne vient pas à son secours! et le gouvernement ne fait rien pour M. Daguerre&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;! &lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold"&gt;et &lt;/span&gt;pourtant il ne faudrait pas 800,000 &lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold"&gt;francs. &lt;/span&gt;Je ne sais ce qui doît étonner le plus, ou le dévouement de l'homme qui veut illustrer son pays par une création que nous envient tous nos voisins, ou le gouvernement qui ne sait pas protéger de tels efforts.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 17.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;Le public a bien ici sa part de culpabilité; mais, préoccupé des graves questions qui s'agitent dans le monde social, le public a-t-il le loisir de penser au Diorama ? D'ailleurs , le public n'en entend pas parler; il l'ignore. Entre un protocole de Londres et un échec à Constantinople, quelques lignes ont-elles dit au public qu'il a là, près de lui, des merveilles qu'il dédaigne, dont il ne se doute pas !

Voila que, pour faire comprendre comment il est possible de concilier le respect des monumens et les exigences d'une population nouvelle, l'image d'une ville devenue une des plus industrieuses, et restée en même temps une des plus pittoresques de l'Europe, se présente à nous par le plus heureux à propos. C'est de Gand, c'est du beau tableau que &lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold"&gt;M. &lt;/span&gt;Daguerre&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;en a récemment exposé au Diorama, que nous voulons parler. Le peintre, avec un parfait sentiment d'artiste, s'est laissé aller au charme de cette physionomie du passé qui se conserve dans l'aspect de la ville flamande, physionomie&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;d'autant plus précieuse et plus piquante, que les traits d'une physionomie toute moderne se développent à côté d'elle sans s’y confondre et sans l'effacer. &lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold"&gt;On &lt;/span&gt;a exploité toutes les richesses pittoresques de l'Italie et du midi de l'Europe, et on les &lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-font-style: italic"&gt;a&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;exploitées sans modération, sans discernement; on a usé et même abusé de tous les moyens de les mettre sous nos yeux, dans les livres, dans les panoramas, au théâtre, partout enfin: et ce spectacle, sans cesse répété, a fini par devenir fastidieux. M. Daguerre, avec beaccoup de tact, a pensé que le peintre devait enfin se tourner vers le Nord et lui demander des modèles. C'est une justice que méritait bien cette Flandre, elle aussi, glorieuse patrie des arts et dans laquelle leur culte n'a cessé d'être un objet d'amour et de foi. La race flamande, avec son admirable attachement pour les lieux qu'elle habite, non-seulement conserve et entretient religieusement ses édifices et ses manoirs domestiques, mais elle recueille encore dans ses musées, dans ses églises, dans les cabinets d'amateurs, tous les tableaux que sa célèbre école de peinture a laissés répandus sur la surface du pays; elle veille sur eux, elle en est fière; elle sait exactement l'histoire de chacun d'eux, qu'elle raconte avec empressement à l'étranger curieux d'admirer ces richesses. En aucune contrée de l'Europe, sans en excepter l'Italie, me aussi fervente dévotion à l'art n'est professée. Gand est une des villes les plus riches de cette Belgique si riche en objets d'art, ville d'ailleurs tout empreinte de moyen âge, comme M. Daguerre nous la fait voir dans son tableau, si vrai et d'une illusion si complète. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 17.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;Le spectateur admis dans le Diorama aperçoit le Canal qui se déploie devant lui. A droite et à gauche sont les quais avec leurs maisons de siècles et de styles différens, et qui toutes semblent avoir de longues années &lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold"&gt;a&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;rester debout, tant elles sont soigneusement entretenues et réparées chez ce peuple, grand ami de la propreté, de l'ordre et de ses aises, comme il est ami des arts. Nous sommes dans le quartier du Commerce. Ces longs bateaux marchands amarrés sur les deux bords du canal viennent y déposer chaque jour de nouveaux chargemens; ainsi ce commerce de Gand n'est point aveugle, brutal et envahisseur, comme celui de certains autres pays; il ne démolit point sans raison, pour les reconstruire à sa guise, les maisons qui se trouvent à sa portée; il a respecté cette belle ligne d'anciens manoirs des bourgeois de Gand, seulement il les a appropriés à son usage, ces antiques manoirs. Ainsi devrait faire le commerce de Paris: ne point tant construire de nouvelles maisons, mais plutôt utiliser les anciennes. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 17.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;Admirons encore une fois la variété de cette architecture et l'illusion du point de vue. Aussi bien il se fait tard; l'obscurité commence à envelopper les contours des objets. Les maisons s'éclairent successivement; la nuit est venue. Mais quel nouveau coup d'œil enchanteur elle nous présente! quels moyens d'illusion sont donc ceux de M. Daguerre&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;? Je revois Gand tel que je l'aperçus une première fois à pareille heure de la nuit. Les circonstances, au milieu desquelles ce spectacle se présenta alors à mes yeux, reviennent à ma mémoire qui depuis longtemps en avait perdu le souvenir. Cela tient du prodige.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 17.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;Jusqu'à présent on avait pu croire que l'exécution des tableaux du Diorama n'était plus susceptible de perfectionnemens. Cette Vue de Gand prouve le contraire; en la comparant à la &lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold"&gt;Vue de la Forêt-Noire&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;, qui reste aussi exposée, on se convaincra que M. Daguerre&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;a réalisé un progrès nouveau. L'illusion est encore plus complète dans cette Vue de Gand, et le travail du peintre y est évidemment encore plus heureusement réussi. Que M. Daguerre continue à nous montrer ainsi des tableaux empruntés aux lieux les plus intéressans de l'Europe, et il pourra se glorifier de nous avoir fait connaître ces lieux même comme si nous les avions parcourus dans la réalité.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 17.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;Tout le Paris qui aime les arts doit se montrer reconnaissant envers l'artiste qui consacre ainsi sa fortune et son talent à créer des plaisirs pour tous. Pour nous, notre reconnaissance lui doit un conseil que la réflexion nous a déjà inspiré: les bénéfices de l'entreprise que dirige M. Daguerre&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;s'accroîtraient à coup sûr, si le prix d'entrée du Diorama était réduit, pendant plusieurs jours de la semaine, à un taux très-minime, par exemple: à 1 franc, ou même à 50 centimes; car des milliers de personnes auxquelles l'élévation du prix actuel interdit la vue de ces tableaux s'empresseraient alors d'aller les visiter. &lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold"&gt;A &lt;/span&gt;certains jours réservés, on pourrait maintenir le prix d'entrée au taux d'aujourd'hui, ou&lt;span style="text-transform: uppercase"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;même l'élever, et ce serait peut-être un sûr moyen d'attirer ces curieux&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;dont la vanité n'estime les plaisirs qu'autant qu'ils les paient cher et qu'ils s'y distinguent de la foule par la façon dont ils y prennent part. Bien des personnes n'iraient pas au théâtre, si toutes les places, mises indistinctement à un prix modique, étaient également accessibles pour tout le monde. Mais c'est surtout en mettant, par la modicité du prix, l'entrée du Diorama à la portée du plus grand nombre, que la combinaison que nous proposons serait assurée de réussir. Les publications à bon marché que multiplie chaque jour la librairie ne sont fondées que sur le calcul bien simple que nous venons de faire, et les étonnans succès qu'elles obtiennent montrent que leur exemple est bon à suivre.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4245614002989422478-5198993713060753163?l=fotohist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fotohist.blogspot.com/feeds/5198993713060753163/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://fotohist.blogspot.com/2010/09/1834-lartiste_6401.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4245614002989422478/posts/default/5198993713060753163'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4245614002989422478/posts/default/5198993713060753163'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fotohist.blogspot.com/2010/09/1834-lartiste_6401.html' title='1834 - L’ARTISTE'/><author><name>Manuel Magalhães</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18082236875311390575</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nDJbVtaNYZE/SbW9Wtu9fFI/AAAAAAAAALw/-pgO9AV7-MA/S220/EU.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4245614002989422478.post-7158946320433272212</id><published>2010-09-05T23:51:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2010-09-05T23:51:54.787+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='L&apos;Artiste'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='1834'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Diorama'/><title type='text'>1834 - L’ARTISTE</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt; &lt;table style="border-collapse: collapse; mso-table-layout-alt: fixed; mso-padding-alt: 0pt 3.55pt 0pt 3.55pt" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr style="height: 3.5pt"&gt; &lt;td style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-left: 3.55pt; width: 39.35pt; padding-right: 3.55pt; height: 3.5pt; padding-top: 0pt" valign="top" width="52"&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: center; tab-stops: 425.25pt" class="MsoNormal" align="center"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language: es" lang="ES"&gt;1834&lt;?xml:namespace prefix = o /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-left: 3.55pt; width: 72pt; padding-right: 3.55pt; height: 3.5pt; border-top: medium none; border-right: windowtext 0.5pt solid; padding-top: 0pt" valign="top" width="96"&gt; &lt;p class="BodyText3"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal; font-size: 7pt; mso-ansi-language: es; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="ES"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;L’ARTISTE&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="BodyText3"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal; font-size: 7pt; font-weight: normal; mso-ansi-language: es; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="ES"&gt;Vol. VIII&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="BodyText3"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; mso-ansi-language: es" lang="ES"&gt;1ª.

Daguerre&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;vient de nous donner au Diorama. Jusqu'à présent nous n'avions vu que de belles toiles, où les illusions de la lumière et de l'optique ne parvenaient à reproduire avec fidélité que l'immobilité de la nature. Dans le Diorama de l'église St.-Etienne-du-Mont, supérieur, selon nous, au &lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold"&gt;Bassin de Gand, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;nous avons tout à la fois un tableau admirablement peint, dont l'ensemble et les détails sont d'une rigoureuse exactitude, d'une illusion parfaite; et puis nous avons une scène animée, la solennité d'une messe de minuit, avec la foule, absente il n'y a qu'un moment, et maintenant recueillie en face de ce chœur, successivement illuminé par l'éclat des lustres. &lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold"&gt;A &lt;/span&gt;l'ensemble imposant de la cérémonie vient se joindre l'harmonie de l'orgue qui comble l'illusion. Si, après avoir cédé comme le public à la fascination de cette scène, nous voulons, en artiste, nous rendre compte du génie du peintre, nous aurons à admirer l'étonnante patience et l'habileté de l'exécution. Comme on sait, l'église est représentée d'abord en plein jour et passe successivement par toutes les modifications de lumière, pour arriver à cet effet prodigieux d'une messe de minuit. Ainsi que nous l’a appris M. Daguerre, tout est peint sur la même toile; la lumière qui éclaire le tableau est seule mobile:&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;le système de cette peinture, de l'invention de M. Daguerre lui-même, est basé sur la différence qu'éprouvent les couleurs, lorsque la lumière qui les éclaire est transmise par réflexion ou réfraction, et que cette lumière elle-même est diversement colorée; l'effet dans le tableau où ce principe est le plus développé, c'est l'apparition d'une partie des figures placées sur les chaises inoccupées dans l'effet de jour. Vous avez beau fixer les jeux sur la toile, afin de saisir le moment où les personnages arrivent, il vous est impossible de distinguer la transition.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 17.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;Une chose merveilleuse à contempler, c'est l'art avec lequel le peintre a su reproduire toutes les différentes couleurs, les nuances, tous les aspects variés, sous lesquels l'église peut apparaître aux différentes heures du jour, depuis cinq heures du matin jusqu'à minuit. Après vousavoir donné la progression du jour à la nuit, le tableau, vous donne aussi le retour gradué de la nuit au jour. Jugez un peu quelle étude profonde et assidue le peintre a dû faire, pour rendre sur sa toile toutes les diverses physionomies de St.-Étenne-du-Mont ! &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 17.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;Vous tous, habitans du Marais, de la Chaussée d'Antin, du faubourg St.-Germain, qui n'avez pas le temps de faire le pélerinage à St.-Etienne-du-Mont ,allez voir le tableau de M. Daguerre&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;, il vous dévoilera toutes les perfections de cette charmante église, délicieux mélange d'architecture sarrazine et de la renaissance. Et de plus, vous y verrez encore ce qui n'existe pas à la montagne Ste-Geneviève, les deux curieux tableaux dont nous avons déjà parlé: le &lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold"&gt;Bassin central du commerce &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;à &lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold"&gt;Gand &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;et &lt;/font&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;la Forêt Noire.&lt;/font&gt;

Ses admirables combinaisons d’effets, et ses décompositions si savantes de couleurs, ont amené successivement des résultats qu’il était impossible de prévoir, et qui son faits pour causer aux artistes plus d’étonnement encore qu’au public.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 14.75pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;Après le miracle de la &lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="text-transform: uppercase"&gt;m&lt;/span&gt;esse de minuit&lt;/i&gt;, il restait à M. Daguerre à exécuter, dans une scéne en plein air, la surprenante transformation de couleurs et de formes qu’il avait opérée avec tant de succès dans un intérieur. C’était une application différente des mêmes principes, avec une extension plus grande. La catastrophe arrivée en 1806, en Suisse, lui donnait un sujet et un cadre des plus heureux pour son art, et il a été habile à en profiter.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 14.75pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;Le village de Goldau existait dans une charmente vallée, entre le mont Righi et une autre montagne au pied de laquelle était aussi un joli lac. En quelques heures, un éboulement de la montagne couvrit le lac et le village, et ne laissa, à la place de ce site si gracieux, qu’un horrible cahos de rochers arides. Eh bien ! voilà ce que M. Daguerre a reproduit sur la même toile. L’effet de jour vous montre le plus beau et plus frais paysage, le hameau, ses lacs, ses pâturages, et les monts gigantesques qui les entourent, éclairés par un jour vif et suave. Peu à peu le jour baisse, la nuit devient obscure ; et quand les rayons de la lune viennent percer l’obscurité, vous n’apercevez plus les lointains sur lesquels les montagnes projettent leurs grandes ombres, mais vous apercevez les premiers plans totalement changés d’aspect : des rochers stériles, en désordre, couvrent les lieux où furent le lac et le village ; des habitants échappés à la mort contemplent cette horrible scène, et le spectateur lui-même croit assister à cette convulsion instantanée de la nature.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 14.75pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;A part l’immense talent de l’auteur comme peintre, tout ceci est œuvre présenté de chimie. La chimie des couleurs était à peu près inconnue ; de profondes et persévérantes recherches ont amené M. Daguerre à produire, par d’habiles décompositions de lumière, et, par suite, de couleurs, des résultats qui tiennent du merveilleux. Lui seul sait ce qu’il a fallu de recherches et d’études pour arriver à ce qu’un tableau se transforme ainsi en un autre tableau, par l’effet des matières colorantes avec lesquelles il est peint, et des diverses manières dont on lui fait recevoir la lumière.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 14.75pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;Ce n’est pas tout. Il y a quelques années, nous avons annoncé un résultat des plus étonnants en ce genre. M. Daguerre avait déjà trouvé une composition de couleurs qui avait la propriété de &lt;i&gt;conserver la lumière dans l’obscurité&lt;/i&gt;, après en avoir été impreignée pendant le jour ; et il prétendait, après avoir composé ainsi toutes les couleurs primitives, peindre un tabeau qui fût visible, &lt;i&gt;par sa propre lumière&lt;/i&gt;, au milieu de la nuit !&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 14.75pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;Aujourd’hui, ces découvertes l’ont mené à une découverte analogue, plus étonnante encore, s’il est possible. Il a trouvé, dit-on, le moyen de recueillir, sur un plateau préparé par lui, l’image produite par la chambre noire, de manière qu’un portrait, un paysage, une vue quelconque, projetés sur ce plateau par la chambre noire ordinaire, y &lt;i&gt;laisse son empreinte&lt;/i&gt; en clair et en ombre, et présente ainsi le plus parfait de tous les dessins…. Une préparation mise mise par dessus cette image, la consrve pendant un temps indéfini… les sciences physiques n’ont peut-être jamais présenté une merveille comparable à celle ci.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 305.35pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: es" lang="ES"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times; color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: es" lang="ES"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;F.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4245614002989422478-6096598033235692696?l=fotohist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fotohist.blogspot.com/feeds/6096598033235692696/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://fotohist.blogspot.com/2010/09/1835-27-de-setembro-journal-des.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4245614002989422478/posts/default/6096598033235692696'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4245614002989422478/posts/default/6096598033235692696'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fotohist.blogspot.com/2010/09/1835-27-de-setembro-journal-des.html' title='1835, 27 de Setembro – JOURNAL DES ARTISTES'/><author><name>Manuel Magalhães</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18082236875311390575</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nDJbVtaNYZE/SbW9Wtu9fFI/AAAAAAAAALw/-pgO9AV7-MA/S220/EU.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4245614002989422478.post-9205185541100780740</id><published>2010-09-01T16:54:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2010-09-01T16:54:49.662+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='L&apos;Artiste'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='1835'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Diorama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Daguerre (Louis Jacques Mandé) 1787-1851'/><title type='text'>1835 - L’ARTISTE</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt; &lt;table style="border-collapse: collapse; mso-table-layout-alt: fixed; mso-padding-alt: 0pt 3.55pt 0pt 3.55pt" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr style="height: 3.5pt"&gt; &lt;td style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-left: 3.55pt; width: 39.35pt; padding-right: 3.55pt; height: 3.5pt; padding-top: 0pt" valign="top" width="52"&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: center; tab-stops: 425.25pt" class="MsoNormal" align="center"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language: es" lang="ES"&gt;1835&lt;?xml:namespace prefix = o /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-left: 3.55pt; width: 72pt; padding-right: 3.55pt; height: 3.5pt; border-top: medium none; border-right: windowtext 0.5pt solid; padding-top: 0pt" valign="top" width="96"&gt; &lt;p class="BodyText3"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal; font-size: 7pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: es" lang="ES"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;L’ARTISTE&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="BodyText3"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal; font-size: 7pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: es" lang="ES"&gt;Vol. X&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="BodyText3"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; mso-ansi-language: es" lang="ES"&gt;1ª.

Daguerre&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;vient d'ajouter une magnifique toile à toutes celles qu'il nous a déjà fait admirer. Il est impossible de mettre dans une entreprise d'art plus d'activité, d'intelligence et de dévoûment que M. Daguerre en a porté dans la sienne. Avec les seules ressources de son talent, il est parvenu &lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold"&gt;à &lt;/span&gt;créer et à faire prospérer un des établissemens les plus curieux et les plus utiles de la capitale. D'abord peu compris du public, peu soutenu, n'ayant rencontré aucun secours dans le gouvernement, M. Daguerre a surmonté tous les obstacles, a réussi &lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-font-style: italic"&gt;à&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;obtenir la vogue du public; et, sans s'arrêter à ces succès si bien mérités, il &lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-font-style: italic"&gt;a&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;toujours cherché à perfectionner son art. Aujourd'hui, la peinture du Diorama est arrivée au plus haut degré possible d'illusion, grace surtont aux effets de jour et de nuit, produits sur la même toile par la décomposition de la lumière, à l'aide du nouveau&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;procédé inventé par M. Daguerre. Le &lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold"&gt;Bassin de Gand &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;et la&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold"&gt; Messe &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt;de&lt;/i&gt; &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt;minuit à Saint-Étienne-du-Mont&lt;/i&gt; nous ont déjà montré toute la surprise et les miraculeux effets de ce procédé; M. Daguerre vient de l'appliquer encore à la peinture de la vallée de Goldau, en Suisse. On peut voir maintenant sur ces trois belles toiles, différentes par le sujet, la scène, l'aspect pittoresque, toute la magie de cette ingénieuse invention. Dans le &lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold"&gt;Bassin &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;de &lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold"&gt;Gand, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;les eaux, le ciel, les monumens se transforment &lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold"&gt;avec &lt;/span&gt;toutes les dégradations de la lumière et vous présentent tous les accidens variés, toutes les teintes successives de la nuit et du jour. Dans &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt;Saint-Étienne-du-Mont&lt;/i&gt;, vous n'avez pas seulement le changement de lumière qui modifie le vaisseau, sa couleur, son aspect, mais sur une, toile immobile la mobilité &lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold"&gt;d'un &lt;/span&gt;drame, l'apparition soudaine &lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-font-style: italic"&gt;et &lt;/span&gt;la disparition de personnages, toute l'action solennelle, recueillie d'une messe de minuit. Cette découverte de M. Daguerre est d'autant plus précieuse, que ce qui nuisait essentiellement à la peinture du Diorama, c'était l'absence de vie, de modification, de mouvement, l'absence de la figure humaine, qui anime et complète tout paysage, tout monument.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 17.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;Le nouveau tableau de M. Daguerre&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;réunit tous ces avantages; il représente un éboulement arrivé dans la vallée de Goldau, le 2 septembre 1806. Dans l'effet du jour, vous voyez la vallée telle qu'elle était avant l'éboulement; cette vallée &lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold"&gt;était &lt;/span&gt;alors une des plus belles de la Suisse. Vers le centre du tableau, on aperçoit le village de Goldau; plus loin se dessine, sur le lac de Zoug, le grand village de Art. A droite, est la montagne de Rouffiberg, qui en partie a écroulé; à gauche, le mont Righi, dont la hauteur est de 5,676 pieds,&lt;/font&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 17.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;Cet effet est admirablement exécuté pour la transparence de l'air et du ciel, la solidité et la vérité de la couleur, l'immensité de la perspective. Je voudrais cependant un peu moins de cru&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold"&gt;dité &lt;/span&gt;dans le ton des arbres du premier plan. La vapeur des lacs joue autour des rochers et les enveloppe au sommet comme d'un voile de gaze. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 17.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;L'aspect enchanteur de ce paysage est tout à coup modifié par des éclairs merveilleusement rendus dans le lointain; la nuit s'avance, les habitans du village sortent des maisons, une catastrophe se prépare; ils sont agenouillés et implorent le Ciel; dans cet effet de nuit on aperçoit, à la clarté de la lune, la vallée, telle qu'elle était immédiatement après l'éboulement. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 17.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;Le 1 et le &lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold"&gt;2 &lt;/span&gt;septembre, il avait plu en abondance; déjà dans la matinée les personnes qui demeuraient dans le voisinage du Gnypenspitz entendirent du bruit et un craquement dans la montagne: on aperçut aussi ailleurs, en divers endroits, d'autres phénomènes singuliers. Enfin, à cinq heures du soir, les couches de Breche, qui s'étendaient entre le Spitzbuel et la Steinbergerfloue, se détachèrent de la montagne et se précipitèrent avec fracas dans la vallée, d'où leurs débris remontèrent le long de la base du Righi. La largeur de ces couches était de &lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-font-style: italic"&gt;1&lt;/span&gt;,000 pieds, leur hauteur de 100 pieds, et leur longueur de près d'une lieue: en cinq minutes ces contrées si charmantes et si fertiles furent changées en un désert affreux. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 17.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;On compte &lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-font-style: italic"&gt;449 &lt;/span&gt;individus écrasés sous les décombres. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 17.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;Tel est le spectacle que nous présente le tableau de M.

Quand on songe qu'une transformation aussi complète est produite sur la même toile, sans changer aucune de ses parties, par la seule modification de la lumière, &lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold"&gt;il &lt;/span&gt;faut admirer et la simplicité de ce procédé, et la grande intelligence de son art qu'il suppose dans l'auteur, et toutes les ressources que présentent l'association de la peinture, de l'optique &lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-font-style: italic"&gt;et&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;de la mécanique, employées par un talent aussi elevé, aussi habile et aussi consciencieux que celui de M.

La nuit est complète. En face de vous, se détachent, sur un espace infini et silencieux, quelques grandes lignes architecturales, de formes indécises; quelques rayons de la lune parviennent à peine à illuminer ce vaste désert. &lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold"&gt;Le &lt;/span&gt;ciel est rayonnant d'étoiles&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;scintillantes. Dans le lointain, vous voyez s'allumer quelques faibles clartés: ce sont les habitans de Jérusalem qui s'éveillent et s'avancent pour la pieuse et solennelle cérémonie de l'inauguration. Peu à peu la lumière s'approche, la foule se dessine, des galeries immenses s'éclairent, enfin le temple lui-même apparaît, magnifique, resplendissant, enveloppé des flots de lumière qui s'échappent d'un nuage éclatant et livrent à tous les regards l'aspect imposant de cette scène. Une population innombrable est agenouillée, pleine de recueillement et d'adoration, devant l'arche sainte que Salomon fait transporter de la montagne de Sion, où son père l'avait laissée, au sanctuaire du nouveau temple. Enfin, pour nous faire entendre les harpes de David, un orgue expressif exécute une musique religieuse qui complète l'illusion. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 17.7pt; tab-stops: -194.95pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;M. Daguerre&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;s'est surpassé dans ce tableau, non-seulement comme art, mais comme&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;mécanisme. L'ordonnance habile et imposante de la scène, les lignes grandioses de l'architecture, la richesse des costumes et des couleurs, la vérité avec laquelle sont&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;observées toutes les nuances variées de la lumière, attestent un artiste qui possède a un haut degré toutes les ressources de son art. Mais, de plus, M. Daguerre a fait une œuvre admirable d'archéologie. Il a fallu reconstruire, d'après les textes sacrés, et ce temple, et son sanctuaire, et les galeries qui l'entourent. L'histoire apprend seulement que le temple&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;de Salomon avait la forme d'un carré parfait; l'édificeextérieur avait quarante coudées de long et de large, et au milieu de la cour s'élevait un autre monument ayant vingt coudées de long comme de large, et vingt coudées de haut. Celui-ci était le sanctuaire, le saint des saints. Voila &lt;b&gt;la &lt;/b&gt;merveille qui a été ressuscitée par le pinceau magique de M. Daguerre.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 17.7pt; tab-stops: -194.95pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;Sous le rapport de l'illusion, cette toile est très-supérieure encore aux précédentes, même à la &lt;i&gt;Messe &lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold"&gt;de &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt;mi&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic"&gt;nuit &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;et à la &lt;i&gt;Valleé de Goldau. &lt;/i&gt;La perspective est d'une étendue infinie; toutes les parties de la composition ont un relief plein de vérité et de solidité; la multitude des personnages apparaît et disparaît avec une surprenante réalité. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 17.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;Aucune des expositions de M.

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;PAR M. DAGUERRE&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;Dans un spectacle comme celui que le Diorama offre au public, le bon choix du sujet est une chose trés importante, quelque soit d'ailleurs le mérite de l’exécution. Il ne s'agit pas seulement, en effet, de montrer un site pittoresque ou un monument grandiose et fantastique, car alors l'œil seul est flatté; il n'y a rien pour l'intelligence, rien dont on désire conserver l'image ou le souvenir. Nous rangerons parmi ces représentations de peu de portée, l'&lt;i&gt;Inauguration du Temple de Salomon&lt;/i&gt;. Sans doute l'esprit est étonné en présence de ces gigantesques édifices, éclairés d'une maniére prestigieuse, et autour desquels se pressent les flots du peuple qui vient adorer le Dieu qui l'a guidé quarante ans à travers le désert. Ces colonnades, ces portiques, ces grandes statues, ces immenses escaliers qui semblent faits pour conduire au ciel, ces pérystiles illuminés par mille lampes sacrées, ces somptueux monumens qui dessinent leurs masses pittoresques dans le lointain, présentent un ensemble imposant, mais, nous le répétons ne suffisent pas pour captiver long-temps l'intérêt du public. M. Daguerre a été bien mieux inspiré quand il a songé à peindre la vue inlérieure de l'église de &lt;i&gt;Santa-Maria-Nuova&lt;/i&gt;. Cetle église est une des constructions les plus grandes et les plus belles de la Sicile. Elle fait d'ailleurs époque dans l'histoire de l'architecture. Sa description peut donner une idée de son importance. &lt;/font&gt; &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;La basilique de Morreale fut fondée par Guillaume II, dit le Bon, vers 1170&lt;i&gt;, &lt;/i&gt;et terminée en 1177; elle est bâtie sur d'assez vastes dimensions. C'est un type remarquable du style bysantin. Son plan est conforme au rite grec, et les motifs de sa décoratien rappellent, d'une manière toute spéciale, ceux qu'on retrouve dans les églises orientales. Elle est divisée en trois nefs et présente neuf travées. Ses colonnes en granit et en porphyre,de vingt-trois pieds de haut, semblent empruntées à plusieurs monumens antiques. Les chapitaux sont décorés dans leurs deux tiers inférieurs de feuilles d'acanthe; mais les volutes ont été remplacées par des cornes d'abondance, et les roses par des cartouches dans lesquels sont sculptées des figures de saints. Les retombées des arcades portent à faux sur l'abaque des chapiteaux. C'est un des caractères de l'architecture byzantine, et surtout de l'architecture saracénique. Les murs et les voussures des arcs sont rehaussées de mosaïques dans le genre de celles de Ste. Sophie, de Constantinople. Les murailles des bas côtés étaient décorées de marquetteries aujourd'hui très-détériorées. L'église est formée de dalles en marbre de diverses couleurs, et qui produisent un très bon effel. Outre la richesse des matériaux employés dans la construction de &lt;i&gt;Santa-Maria-Nuova&lt;/i&gt;, on doit surtout signaler, la forme de toutes les arcades, qui sont en tiers-point. Cette église est la première de celles de la Sicile et même de l'Italie, dans laquelle l'ogive ait été employée. Sans doute on trouve l'ogive au palais de la Ziza, que Seroux d'Agincourt fait remonter au IX&lt;sup&gt;e&lt;/sup&gt; siécle, mais cette date a &lt;i&gt;été &lt;/i&gt;contestée avec raison. En Sicile, l'architecture dans laquelle on emploie l'arc en liers-point est appelée &lt;i&gt;française&lt;/i&gt; ou &lt;i&gt;normande&lt;/i&gt;, parce que cet arc a été mis en usage à l'époque où les Normands étaient maîtres de Palerme. On s'est appuyé sur ce fait pur démontrer l'origine française de l'ogive (1) &lt;i&gt;(&lt;a href="#_edn1" name="_ednref1"&gt;[i]&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/i&gt;; mais on conçoit que ce n'est là qu'une preuve de peu de valeur.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/font&gt; &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;Cette basilique si somptueuse et si magnifique a été rendue avec un incroyable bonheur par M. Daguerre. Mosaïques, sculptures, tableaux, tous les détails qui en rehaussent l'éclat sont reproduits avec uue parfaite exactitude. On peul dire que ceux qui ont vu l'église de &lt;i&gt;Santa-Maria-Nuova&lt;/i&gt;, au Diorama, en ont une idée presque aussi exacte que ceux qui ont visité Morreale. Aprés avoir vu le temple chrétien de Guillaume II, par un brillant soleil, dont la lumière envahit de toutes parts le chœur et les nefs, on y assiste à un sermon qui se prêche la nuit, à&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;la lueur de quelques lampes qui projettent leurs pâles reflets sur une foule de fidèles, rangés autour de la chaire sacrée. Avant d'arriver à cet effet de nuit, l'église passe graduellement du jour le plus éblouissant a l'obscurilé la plus complète. Les ombres grandissent peu à peu, les nefs deviennent de plus en plus profondes, les angles s'effacent insensiblement. Le crépuscule jette encore sur les colonnes et les boiseries du plafond ses reflets incertains, mais bientôt les ténébres les plus épaisses règnent dans tout l'édifice. Le froid saisit, pour ainsi dire, au milieu de cette sombre solitude, d'ou la vie sertible avoir disparu avec la lumière. Voici maintenant la prédication qui va commencer. Une lampe et quelques cierges s'allument autour de la chaire, et montrent le peuple des fidèles agenouillé pour la prière. Cet effet est d'une vérité frappante, et touche de bien près à la réalité. Les profils se dessinent, comme il convient, d'une manière vague, et les ombres sont distribuées avec beaucoup de science. Pour comprendre tout ce qu'il y a d'étonnant dans ce spectacle, il ne faut pas oublier que tout est peint sur la mème toile, et que la lumière qui éclaire le tableau est seule mobile. L'église royale de Morreale est, à notre avis, d'une exécution bien supérieure à&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;l'&lt;i&gt;Eglise &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;de St-Etienne-du-Mont&lt;/i&gt;, également peinte par M. Daguerre, et qui, d'ailleurs, a été, avec raison, vivement admirée. Il serait à désirer que le Diorama fût plus populaire. Par malheur, le prix élevé des entrées n'est pas à la portée de toutes les fortunes, et ne le sera pas nécessairement tant que le gouvernement ne viendra pas en aide à&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;une entreprise qui mérite d'être encouragée. Pourquoi ne céderait-on pas, pour y établir un immense diorama, une partie des vastes emplacemens que comprennent les Champs Elysées. Au lieu d'un ou de deux tableaux, on pourrait en faire voir ou huit ou dix, représentant les lieux les plus célèbres et les monumeus les plus curieux. Alors, un certain jour de chaque semaine, le prix d'entrée serait diminué assez pour que la vue de tant de merveilles ne fût pas exclusivement le privilége du riche. Le succès des exercices équestres de Franconi, aux Champs Elysées, devrait décider le pouvoir à faire la concession que nous demandons pour un Diorama.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p align="right"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;L.-B.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt; &lt;hr align="left" size="1" width="33%"&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="mso-element: endnote-list"&gt;&lt;br clear="all"&gt; &lt;hr align="left" size="1" width="33%"&gt;  &lt;div style="mso-element: endnote" id="edn1"&gt; &lt;p style="punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a style="mso-endnote-id: edn1" title="" href="#_ednref1" name="_edn1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="MsoEndnoteReference"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-special-character: footnote"&gt;[i]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;(1) L'ogive est appelée, en Sicile, &lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold"&gt;arco impastrato, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;de &lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold"&gt;pastora, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold"&gt;en&lt;/span&gt;trave, corde dont on lie les pieds des chevaux dans les paturages.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 16pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4245614002989422478-298193540347402511?l=fotohist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fotohist.blogspot.com/feeds/298193540347402511/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://fotohist.blogspot.com/2010/08/1838-lartiste.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4245614002989422478/posts/default/298193540347402511'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4245614002989422478/posts/default/298193540347402511'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fotohist.blogspot.com/2010/08/1838-lartiste.html' title='1838 – L’ARTISTE'/><author><name>Manuel Magalhães</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18082236875311390575</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nDJbVtaNYZE/SbW9Wtu9fFI/AAAAAAAAALw/-pgO9AV7-MA/S220/EU.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4245614002989422478.post-7411642304566391582</id><published>2010-08-31T14:06:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2010-08-31T14:06:36.072+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='1839'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Alf.

mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;Sous cette dénomination M. Daguerre, peintre, inventeur et directeur du Diorama désigne un procédé à l’aide duquel, sans aucune notion du dessin, sans aucune connaissance en chimie et en physique, on pourra en quelques minutes prendre les points de vue les plus détaillés, les sites les plus pitoresques. Chacun à l’aide du &lt;i&gt;Daguerréotype&lt;/i&gt;, pourra faire avec facilité et promptitude la vue de son château ou de sa maison de campagne, même un portrait au naturel. L’idée première de cet important procédé est due à un de nos compatriotes, au studieux et savant Nicèphore Nièpce : après une mort prématurée qui vint enlever M. Nièpce à la science et à ses nombreux amis, un d’entre eux, M. Daguerre recueilli les notes prises sur ce pocédé et, à force d’étude, il l’a enfin conduit au degré de perfection où il est aujourd’hui. Une souscription doit être ouverte en janvier 1839, dont le but sera de livrer aux souscripteurs la connaissance de cet admirable procédé.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: right; text-indent: 14.45pt; tab-stops: 425.25pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt"&gt;Alf.

Porta&lt;/i&gt;; tout le monde a remarqué avec quelle netteté, avec quelle vérité de formes, &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt;de couleur&lt;/i&gt; et de ton, les objects extérieurs vont se reproduire sur l'écran placé au foyer de la large lentille qui constitue la partie essentielle de cet instrument; tout le monde après avoir admiré ces images, s'est abandonné au regret qu'elles ne pussent pas être conservées.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 17.7pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;Ce regret sera désormais sans objet: M. &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt;Daguerre&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;a découvert des écrans particuliers sur lesquels l'image optique laisse une empreinte parfaite; des écrans où tout ce que l'image renfermait se trouve reproduit jusque dans les plus minutieux détails, avec une exactitude, avec une finesse incroyables. En vérité, il n'y aurait pas d'exagération à dire que l'inventeur a découvert les moyens de &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt;fixer les images&lt;/i&gt;, si sa méthode conservait les couleurs; mais, il faut s'empresser de le dire pour détromper une partie du public, il n'y a dans les tableux, dans les copise de M. &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt;Daguerre&lt;/i&gt;, comme dans un dessin au crayon noir, comme dans une gravure au burin, ou, mieux encore (l'assimilation sera plus exacte), comme dans une gravure à la manière noire ou à &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt;l'aquatinta&lt;/i&gt;, que du blanc, du noir et du gris, que de la lumière, de l'obscurité et des demi-teintes. En un mot, dans la chambre noire de M. &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt;Daguerre&lt;/i&gt;, la lumière reproduit elle-même les formes et les proportions des objets extérieurs, avec une précision presque mathématique; les rapports photométriques des diverses parties blanches, noires, grises, sont exactement conservés; mais des demi-teintes représentent le rouge, le jaune, le vert, etc., car la méthode crée des dessins et non des tableaux en couleur.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 17.7pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;Les principaux produits de ses nouveaux procédés que M. &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt;Daguerre&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;a mis sous les yeux de trois membres de l'Académie, MM. &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt;de Humboldt&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt;Biot&lt;/i&gt; et&lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt; Arago&lt;/i&gt;, sont une vue de la grande galerie qui joint le Louvre aux Tuileries; une vue de la Cité et des tours de &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt;Notre-Dame&lt;/i&gt;; des vues de la Seine et de plusieurs de ses ponts, des vues de quelques- -unes desbarrières de la capitale. Tous ces tableaux supportent l'examen à la loupe, sans rien perdre de leur pureté, du moins pour les objets qui étaient immobiles pendant que leurs images &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt;s'engendraient.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 17.7pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;Le temps nécessaire à l'exécution d'une vue, quand on veut arriver à de grandes vigueurs de ton, varie avec l'intensité de la lumière et, dès-lors, avec l'heure du jour et avec la saison. En été et en plein midi, huit à dix minutes suffisent. Dans d'autres climats, en Egypte, par exemple, on pourrait probablement se borner à deux ou trois minutes.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 17.7pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;Le procédé de M. &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt;Daguerre&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;n'a pas seulement exigé la découverte d'une substance plus sensible à l'action de la lumière que toutes celles dont les physiciens et les chimistes se sont déjà occupés. Il a fallu trouver endore le moyen de lui enlever à volonté cette propriété; c'est ce que M. &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt;Daguerre&lt;/i&gt; a fait: ses dessins, quand il les a terminés, peuvent être exposés en plein soleil sans en recevoir aucune altération.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 17.7pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;L'extrême sensibilité de la préparation dont M. Daguerre&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;fait usage, ne constitue pas le seul caractère par lequel sa d´rcouverte diffère &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt;des essais imparfaits&lt;/i&gt; auxquels on s'était jadis livré pour dessiner &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt;des silhouettes &lt;/i&gt;sur une couche de&lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt; chlorure d'argent&lt;/i&gt;. Ce sel est blanc, la lumière le noircit, la partie blanche des images passe donc au noir, tandis que les portions noires, au contraire, restent blanches. Sur les écrans de M. Daguerre, et l'objet sont tout pareils: le blanc correspond au blanc, les demi-teintes aux demi-teintes, le noir au noir.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 17.7pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;M. &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt;Arago&lt;/i&gt; a essayé de faire ressortir tout ce que l'invention de M. &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt;Daguerre&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;offrira de ressources aux voyageurs, tout ce qu'en pourront tirer aujourd'hui, surtout, les sociétés savantes et les simples particuliers qui s'occupent avec tant de zèle de la représentation graphique des monuments d'architecture répandus dans les divers parties du royaume. La facilité et l'exactitude qui résulteront des nouveaux procédés, loin de nuire à la classe si intéressante des dessinateurs, leur procurera un surcroît d'occupation. Ils travailleront certainement moins en plein air, mais beaucoup plus dans leurs ateliers.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 17.7pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;Le nouveau réactif semble aussi devoir fournir aux physiciens et aux astronomes des moyens d'investigation très précieux. A la demande des Académiciens déjà cités, M. &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt;Daguerre&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;a jeté l'image de la &lt;span style="text-transform: uppercase"&gt;l&lt;/span&gt;une, formée au foyer d'une médiocre lentille, sur un de ses écrans, et elle a laissé une empreinte blanche évidente. En faisant jadis une semblable expérience avec le chlorure d'argent, une Commission de l'Académie composée de MM. &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt;Laplace&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt;Malus&lt;/i&gt; et &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt;Arago&lt;/i&gt;, n'obtint aucun effet appréciable. Peut-être l'exposition à la lumière ne fut-elle pas assez prolongée. En tout cas, de M. &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt;Daguerre&lt;/i&gt; aura été le premier à produire une modification chimique sensible à l'aide des rayons lumineux de notre satellite.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 17.7pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;L'invention de M. &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt;Daguerre&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;est le fruit d'un travail assidu de plusieurs années, pendant lesquelles il a eu pour collaborateur son ami, feu M. &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt;Niece&lt;/i&gt;, de Châlons-sur-Saône. En cherchantcomment il pourrait être dédommagé de ses peines et de ses dépenses, ce peintre distingué n'a pas tardé à reconnaître qu'un brevet d'invention ne le conduirait pas au but: une fois dévoilés, ses procédés seraient à la disposition de tout le monde. Il semble donc indispensable que le Gouvernement dédommage directement de M. &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt;Daguerre&lt;/i&gt; et que la France, ensuite, dote noblement le monde entier d'une découverte qui peut tant contribuer aux progrès des arts et des sciences. M. &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt;Arago&lt;/i&gt; annonce qu'il adressera à ce sujet une demende au Ministère ou aux Chambres, dès que M. &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt;Daguerre&lt;/i&gt;, qui a proposé de l'initier à tous les d'étails de sa méthode, lui aura prouvé qu'aux admirables propriétés dont les résultats obtenus sont une manifestation si éclatante, cette méthode joint, comme l'annonce l'inventeur, le mérite d'être économique, d'être facile, de pouvoir être employée en tout lieu par les voyageurs.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 17.7pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 17.7pt; tab-stops: 425.25pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;« M. &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"&gt;Biot&lt;/b&gt; déclare s'associer complétement à l'exposition que M.Arago vient de faire des étonnants résultats obtenus par M. Daguerre&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;. Ayant eu plusieurs fois l'avantage de les voir, et d'entendre M. Daguerre raconter quelques-unes des nombreuses expériences qu'il a faites sur la sensibilité optique de la préparation qu'il est parvenu à composer, M. Biot pense avec M. Arago qu'elle fournira des moyens aussi nouveaux que désirables pour étudier les propriétés d'un des agents naturels qu'il nous importe le plus de connaître et que jusqu'ici nous avions si peu de moyens de soumettre à des épreuves indépendantes de nos sensations. Et il ne peut exprimer mieux sa pensée sur cette invention qu'en la comparant à une rétine artificielle mise par M. Daguerre à la disposition des physiciens. »&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4245614002989422478-8002129705883263250?l=fotohist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fotohist.blogspot.com/feeds/8002129705883263250/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://fotohist.blogspot.com/2010/08/1839-7-de-janeiro-comptes-rendus-des.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4245614002989422478/posts/default/8002129705883263250'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4245614002989422478/posts/default/8002129705883263250'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fotohist.blogspot.com/2010/08/1839-7-de-janeiro-comptes-rendus-des.html' title='1839, 7 de Janeiro - COMPTES RENDUS DES SÉANCES DE L&amp;#39;ACADÉMIE DES SCIENCES'/><author><name>Manuel Magalhães</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18082236875311390575</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nDJbVtaNYZE/SbW9Wtu9fFI/AAAAAAAAALw/-pgO9AV7-MA/S220/EU.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://lh3.ggpht.com/_nDJbVtaNYZE/THsBmSjiddI/AAAAAAAADnQ/a49GEw7RIAA/s72-c/clip_image002_thumb.gif?imgmax=800' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4245614002989422478.post-2610830211479375312</id><published>2010-08-30T01:51:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2010-08-30T01:51:43.872+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='1839'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Journal des Débats Politiques et Littéraires'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Arago (François Jean Dominique) 26/02/1786 - 2/10/1853'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Biot'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='daguerréotipo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Daguerre (Louis Jacques Mandé) 1787-1851'/><title type='text'>1839, 8 de Janeiro – JOURNAL des DÉBATS POLITIQUES et LITTÉRAIRES</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;

Arago a rendu compte à l’Académie des Sciences, dans la séance d’aujourd’hui, de la belle découverte de M. Daguerre dont le monde, les artistes et les savants eux-mêmes s’entretiennent avec intérêt depuis quelque temps ; cette découverte a été annoncée, dit M. Arago,&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;dans des termes inexacts et que l’auteur ne peut accepter ; il lui paraît donc convenable de donner à l’Académie des détails précis sur cette merveilleuse invention. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 18.25pt; tab-stops: 425.25pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;Tout le monde connaît les effets de la chambre noire et la netteté avec laquelle les objets extérieurs viennent se peindre en miniature sur le tableau au moyen d'une lentille. Eh bien! on ne peut pas donner une idée plus juste de la découverte de M. Daguerre, qu'en disant qu'il est parvenu à fixer sur le papier ce dessin si vrai, cette représentation si fidèle des objets de la nature ou des arts, avec toute la dégradation des teintes, la délicatesse des lignes et la rigoureuse exactitude des formes, de la perspective et des différens tons de la lumière.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: '(Utilizar o tipo de letra de te'; color: red; font-size: 17pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 18.25pt; tab-stops: 425.25pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;Quelle que soit l'étendue du tableau, il ne lui faut pour le reproduire que dix minutes ou un quart d'heure suivant l'éclat du jour ; la lumière étant elle-même l'agent de cette merveilleuse gravure, elle agit plus ou moins vite suivant son intensité; c'est ainsi que M. Daguerre, placé sur le pont des Saints- Pères, a pu fixer avec tous ses détails l'immense galerie du Louvre, de même que du pont de l'Archevêché il a dessiné Notre-Dame; aucun objet, aucun aspect de la nature et des choses n'échappent à ce procédé; le matin se reproduit avec sa fraîcheur de même que l'éclatante lumière du jour et la teinte sombre du soir ou mélancolique d'un temps de pluie.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: '(Utilizar o tipo de letra de te'; color: red; font-size: 17pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 18.25pt; tab-stops: 425.25pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;Dans cette gravure singulière, les couleurs sont indiquées par la nuance des ombres et par une dégradation insensible comme dans l'&lt;i&gt;aquatinta&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: '(Utilizar o tipo de letra de te'; color: red; font-size: 17pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 18.25pt; tab-stops: 425.25pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;Maintenant quel est donc l'ingénieux moyen employé par M. Daguerre pour réaliser cette espèce de miracle? Ce que nous venons de dire ne peut manquer d'exciter vivement la curiosité; nous ne connaissons pas ce procédé, et M. Arago n'a pas non plus voulu pénétrer le secret de l'auteur; mais on peut facilement en donner l'idée de manière à faire concevoir ce qui au premier abord paraît incompréhensible. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: '(Utilizar o tipo de letra de te'; color: red; font-size: 17pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 18.25pt; tab-stops: 425.25pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;La chimie moderne possède certaines substances ayant la propriété de changer de couleur au contact de la lumière; et un composé d'argent que l'on nomme le&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: '(Utilizar o tipo de letra de te'; color: red; font-size: 17pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;chlorure d'argent&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: '(Utilizar o tipo de letra de te'; color: red; font-size: 17pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;est dans ce cas. Si donc un papier préparé avec cette matière offre quelques uns de ses points exposés à la lumière, les autres étant tenus à l'abri, il est clair que&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: '(Utilizar o tipo de letra de te'; color: red; font-size: 17pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;l'on produira un dessin quelconque au moyen des différentes teintes que prendront les parties éclairées et les parties soustraites à l'influence du jour; c'est le principe sur lequel M. Daguerre paraît avoir travaillé pendant de longues années, avec une persévérance et une intelligence qui l'ont enfin conduit au but qu'entouraient de nombreuses difficultés; et maintenant que le résultat est obtenu maintenant qu'il est parvenu à rendre inaltérables ces effets produits par la lumière, ce procédé de M. Daguerre se trouve être tellement simple tellement à la portée de tout le monde, qu'il risque de ne pas trouver dans l'exploitation de sa découverte le fruit de ses études et de ses efforts; un brevet d'invention serait impuissant à lui garantir la propriété d'une idée que chacun peut mettre à exécution de soi-même une fois qu'elle sera répandue. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: '(Utilizar o tipo de letra de te'; color: red; font-size: 17pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 18.25pt; tab-stops: 425.25pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;M. Arago se propose donc de demander au ministre de faire l'acquisition du procédé de M.

mso-ansi-language: en-us; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="EN-US"&gt;We have much pleasure in announcing an important discovery made by M. Daguerre, the celebrated painter of the Diorama. This discovery seems like a prodigy. It disconcerts all the theories of science in light and optics, and, if borne out, promises to make a revolution in the arts of design.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 19.8pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: en-us; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="EN-US"&gt;M. Daguerre has discovered a method to fix the images which are represented at the back of a camera obscura; so that these images are not the temporary reflection of object, but their fixed and durable impress, which may be removed from the presence of those objects like a picture or an engraving.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 19.8pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: en-us; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="EN-US"&gt;Let our readers fancy the fidelity of the image of nature figured by the camera obscura, and add to it an action of the solar rays which fixes this image, with all its gradations of lights, shadows, and middle tints, and they will have an idea of the beautiful designs, with a sight of which M. Daguerre has gratified our curiosity. M. Daguerre cannot act on paper; he requires a plate of polished metal. It was on copper that we saw several points of the Boulevards, Pont Marie, and the environs, and many others spots, given with a truth which Nature alone can give to her works. M. Daguerre shows you the plain plate of copper: he places it, in your presence, in his apparatus and, in three minutes, if there is a bright summer sun, and a few more, if autumn or winter weaken the power of its beams, he takes out the metal and shows it you, covered with a charming design representing the object towards which the apparatus was turned. Nothing remains but a short mechanical operation – of washing, I believe – and the design, which has been obtained in so few moments, remains unalterably fixed, so that the hottest sun cannot destroy it.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 19.8pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: en-us; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="EN-US"&gt;Messrs. Arago, Biot, and Von Humboldt, have ascertained the reality of this discovery, which excited their admiration; and M. Arago will, in a few days, make it known to the Academy of Sciences.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 19.8pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: en-us; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="EN-US"&gt;I add some further particulars. Nature in motion cannot be represented, or at least not without great difficulty, by the process in question. In one of the views of the Boulevards, of which I have spoken, all that was walking or moving does not appear in the design; of two horses in a backney coach on the stand, one unluckily moved its head during the short operation; the animal is without a head in the design. Trees are very well represented; but their colour, as it seems, hinders the solar rays from producing their image as quickly as that of houses, and other objects of a different colour. This causes a difficulty for landscape, because there is a certain fixed point of perfection for trees, and another for all objects the colours of which are not green. The consequence is, that when the houses are finished, the trees are not, and when the trees are finished, the houses are too much so.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 19.8pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: en-us; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="EN-US"&gt;Inanimate nature, architecture, are the triumph of the apparatus which M. Daguerre means to call after his own name – &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt;Daguerotype&lt;/i&gt;. A dead spider, seen in the solar microscope, is finished with such detail in the design, that you may study its anatomy, with or without a magnifying glass, as if it were nature itself; not a fibre, not a nerve, but you may trace and examine. For a few hundred francs travelers may, perhaps, be soon able to procure M. Daguerre’s apparatus, and bring back views of the finest monuments, and of the most delightful scenery of the whole world. They will see how far their pencils and brushes are from the truth of the Daguerotype. Let not the draughtsman and the painter, however, despair – the results obtained by M. Daguerre are very different from their works, and, in many cases, cannot be a substitute for them. The effects of this new process have some resemblance to line engraving and mezzotinto, but are much near to the latter: as for truth, they surpass every thing.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 19.8pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: en-us; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="EN-US"&gt;I have spoken of the discovery only as it regards art. If what I have heard is correct, M. Dagurre’s discovery tends to nothing less than a new theory on an important branch of science. M. D. generously owns that the first idea of his process was given him, fifteen years ago, by M. Nieps, of Chalons-sur-Saone; but in so imperfect a state, that it has cost him long and persevering labour to attain the object.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: right; text-indent: 19.8pt" class="MsoNormal" align="right"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: en-us; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="EN-US"&gt;H.

What the process is we are not told, but, as far as we understand it, by exposing the copper to these&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;reflections, and immediately rubbing it over with a certain material, the likeness of whatever is so impressed is retained with perfect accuracy. Some difficulties occur where there is motion in the objects, whether animals, or leaves of trees stirered by the wind, &amp;amp;c.; but, if really true, this is a very extraordinary discovery for the fine arts. Some of our readers may be aware that, some fourteen or fifteen years ago, Sir H. Davy and other scientific men amongst us, strenuously endeavoured to attain this desideratum; and by means of &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt;nitrate of silver&lt;/i&gt;, upon which light and shade produced certain effects, seemed to have all but accomplished their end. It was not however complete; for the changes in colour were too evanescent to admit of permanent fixture. We shall be glad to find the French experimenters more successful.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4245614002989422478-5651729582694962996?l=fotohist.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fotohist.blogspot.com/feeds/5651729582694962996/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://fotohist.blogspot.com/2010/08/1839-12-de-janeiro-literary-gazette-and.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4245614002989422478/posts/default/5651729582694962996'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4245614002989422478/posts/default/5651729582694962996'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fotohist.blogspot.com/2010/08/1839-12-de-janeiro-literary-gazette-and.html' title='1839, 12 de Janeiro - THE LITERARY GAZETTE AND JOURNAL OF BELLES LETTRES, ARTS, SCIENCES'/><author><name>Manuel Magalhães</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18082236875311390575</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nDJbVtaNYZE/SbW9Wtu9fFI/AAAAAAAAALw/-pgO9AV7-MA/S220/EU.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4245614002989422478.post-679031442719896642</id><published>2010-08-30T01:41:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2010-08-30T01:41:58.226+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='1839'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Arago (François Jean Dominique) 26/02/1786 - 2/10/1853'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Diorama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Biot'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='daguerréotipo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Literary Gazette and Journal of the Belles Lettres Arts Sciences etc (The)'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Daguerre (Louis Jacques Mandé) 1787-1851'/><title type='text'>1839, 19 de Janeiro - THE LITERARY GAZETTE AND JOURNAL OF BELLES LETTRES, ARTS, SCIENCES</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;

made, on the 7&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; of this month, a verbal communication to the Academy of Sciences, on the fine discovery of M. Daguerre, which confirms all the important points of the report which we gave last week. We extract some passages – “ In the camera obscura, the image is perfectly defined when the lens is achromatic; the same precision is seen in the images obtained by M. Daguerre, which represent all objects with a degree of perfection which no designer, however skilful, can equal, and finished, in all the details, in a manner that exceeds belief. It is the light which forms the image, on a plate covered with a particular coating. Now, how long a time does the the light require to execute this operation? In our climate, and in ordinary weather, eight or ten minutes; but, under a pure sky,&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;like that of Egypt, two, perhaps one minute, might suffic to execute the most complex design.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify" class="Estilo2"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Consideraring the great utility of the discovery to the public, and the extreme simplicity of the processus, which is such that any person may practise it, M. Arago is of opinion, that it would be impssible, by means of a patent or otherwuise, to secure to the inventor he advantages which he ought to derive from it; and thinks that the best way would be for the government to purchase the secret, and make it public. M. Arago mentions the attemps formerly made to obtain images in a simiar manner, by the action of the light on nitrate of silver:on this point he says, - “M. Daguerre has found a substance infinitely more sensible to the light than the chlorure of silver, wich is altered in a inverse manner, than is to say, which leaves on the several parts of the plate, corresponding to the several parts of the object, dark tints for the shadowy, half tints for the lighter parts, and no tint whatever for the parts that are quite luminous. When this action of the light on he differents parts of the plate has produced the desired effect, M. Daguerre stops it at once, and the design, which he withdraws from the camera-obscura, may be exposed to the full light of the day, without undergoing any alteration.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify" class="Estilo2"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;“ If we consider M. Daguerre’s discovery with respect to the utility which it may have in the sciences, it is evident that so sensible a reagent as that which he has found, may enable us to make photometrical experiments, which have hitherto been reputed imposible. Such, “said M. Arago, “are experiments on the light of the moon; which the Academy had deemed of sufficient importance for it to appoint a committee, composed of M. de Laplace, M. Malus, and myself, to make them. The light of the moon is known to be 300,000 time weaker than that of the sun: yet we did not despair of obtaining some sensible effects, by means of a lens of very large dimensions. We made use of a very large lens, brought from Austria; and, placing some chlorure of silver in the focus, that being the most sensible reagent known, not the slighest discoloration was perceptible. It occurred to me, that M. Daguerre might have more success with his new reagent; and, in fact, he obtained, in twenty minutes, on his dark ground, a white image of the moon, with a lens for less owerful than ours.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify" class="Estilo2"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;M. Biot added some details to those given by M. Arago. “I have several times, “said he, “seen M. Daguerre, and I can say, that in the numerous trials which he hasmade to attain these astonisshing results, he has discovered several extremely interesting properties of light, some of which might have been &lt;a name="OLE_LINK2"&gt;foreseen &lt;/a&gt;by natural philosophers, as soon&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;as they inquired what must happen in certain given circumstances, but of wich others were completely unexpected.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify" class="Estilo2"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;As for the principal discovery, I can speak of the perfection of the results obtained, not after my own judgement, but after that of a celebrated artist, M. Paul Delaroche, in whose company I have examined some of the designs taken by the new process. M. Delaroche thinks they may give, in the manner of expressing by light and shade, not only the relief of objects, but the local tint; the same basrelief in plaster and in marble, will be differently represented in the two designs, and you can tell, at the first glance, which is the image of the plaster.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify" class="Estilo2"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;In one of these designs,you may almost tell the hour of the day. Three views of the same monument are taken; one in the morning, one at noon, and the other in the evening; and nobody will mistake the effect of the morning for that of the evening, though the sun’s altitude, and, consequently, the relative lenghts of the shadows, are the same in both. – &lt;i&gt;Le Temps&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify" class="Estilo2"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="Estilo2" align="right"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Paris, 12th January, 1839&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="Estilo2"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="EN-US"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify" class="Estilo2"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;The discovery of M. Daguerre has been for some time past the subject of marvelous statements. The ingenious contriver of the Diorama had devoted himself to the study of the properties of light, with the ardour and perseverance of which genius alone is capable. Yet the accounts, fabulous as they appeared, are conformable to the truth, except that M. daguerre’s pictures do not give the colour, but only the outlines – the lights and shadows of the model. It is not painting, it is drawing, but drawing carried to a degree of pefection which art can never attain. The facsimlle is fauldess.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify" class="Estilo2"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Every picture that was shown us produced an excamation of admiration. What &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: '(Utilizar o tipo de letra de te'" lang="EN-US"&gt;fineness&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt; in the strokes ! What knowledge of the chiaro-scuro! What delicacy! What exquisite finish! How soft isthat stuff! How salient those bas-reliefs! There is a Venus crouching down, seen in different points of view. How admirably are the foreshortenings given: it is nature itself. All this is wonderful. But who will say that it is not thework of some able draughtsman? Who will assure us that they are not drawings in bistre or sepia? M. Daguerre answers by putting an eyeglass into our hand. Then we perceive the smallest folds of a piece of drapery; the lines of a landscape invisible to the naked eye. With the aid of a spying-glass, we bring the distances near. In the mass of buildings, of acessories, of imperceptible traits, which compose a view of Paris taken from the Pont des Arts, we distinguish the smallest details; we count the paving-stones; we see the humidity caused by the rain; we read theinscription on a shop sign. The effect becomes more astonishing if you employ the microcospe. An insect of the size of a pea, the garden spider, enormously magnified by a solar microscope, is reflected in the same dimensions y the marvellous mirror, and with the most minute accuracy. It is manifest how useful m. daguerre’s discovery will be in the study of natural history.&lt;span style="mso-tab-count: 1"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify" class="Estilo2"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;The artist has already enriched science with the solution of several problems. The experiments on the light of sirius have confirmed the testimony of natural philosophy, and abundantly proved that the stars are bodies of the same nature as the sun. At the request of&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;M. Biot, M. Daguerre has submitted his apparatus to the influence of the light of the moon, and has succeded in fixing the image of that light, something like the tail of a comet, and we ascribed it to the movement of the body during the operation, which is of much longer duration than that by the light of the sun.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify" class="Estilo2"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;We have seen that the impression of the image is made with more or less rapidity, according to the intensity of the light, which is more powerful a soon than the morning or evening, in summer than in winter, in a latitude near the equator than near the pole. M. Daguerre has hitherto made his experiments in paris ony; and, even under the most favourable circumstances, they have always proceeded with a slowness, which has not allowed him to obtain complete success, except with inanimate nature, or nature in repose. Motion escapes him, or leaves only indefinite and vague traces. It may be presumed that the sun of Africa would give him instantaneous autographs, - images of nature, in motion and life. – &lt;i&gt;Le Commerce&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p style="text-indent: 14.75pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;Tout le monde connaît la chambre obscure, appareil qui reflète une image à travers un verre convexe sur une surface blanche, dans un lieu qui ne reçoit de lumière que par ce verre. Là, sur cette surface, se peignent les objets extérieurs; mais ils ne s'y gravent point: ce tableau fugitif disparaît entièrement au grand jour. Voici M. Daguerre, qui, lui, force la nature elle-même à donner à ces images une empreinte fixe et stable, même quand elles sont hors des rayons lumineux qui les ont produites et des objets qu'elles retracent. Ainsi, par son procédé, ce sont les rayons solaires qui ont servi de pinceau, qui ont dessiné ou plutôt calqué les objets avec toutes leurs nuances de jours, d'ombres, de demi-teintes, avec une exactitude poussée jusqu'aux plus petits détails. Et l'opération se fait aussi vite qu'exactement : fait-il un soleil d'été ? cinq minutes environ suffisent ; quelques - unes de plus sont nécessaires si l'automne ou l'hiver affaiblissent les rayons solaires. Tout le secret de l'invention réside dans un enduit dont est couvert le subjectile sur lequel se posent ces rayons lumineux. Le sulfate d'argent, par exemple, noircit au contact de la lumière, de telle sorte que l'image qu'il donne rend en noir les parties éclairées et en clair les parties ombrées; mais ce n'est pas cette matière qu'emploie M. Daguerre , car ses tableaux répètent la nature ombre pour ombre, clair pour clair, demi-teinte pour demi-teinte. D'ailleurs, sur le sulfate d'argent, la lumière n'opère qu'avec lenteur , tandis que l'appareil de M. Daguerre agit presqu'instantanément.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 14.75pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;Ainsi donc, et la science l'ignorait , il est une substance douée d'une telle sensibilité que, non seulement elle se pénètre aussitôt de la lumière, mais qu'elle en conserve l'impulsion, qu'elle opère à la fois comme l'air et comme le nerf optique , comme l'instrument matériel de la sensation et comme la sensation même !&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 14.75pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;La nature en mouvement ne peut pas se rendre par le procédé de M. Daguerre. Dans une des vues de boulevart qu'il a produites, il est arrivé que tout ce qui marchait ou agissait n'a pas pris place dans le dessin: de deux chevaux de fiacre en station , l'un aremué la tète pendant l'opération ; cette tête manque. Les arbres se rendent très bien, mais leur couleur, à ce qu'il paraît, met obstacle à ce que les rayons solaires les reproduisent aussi vite que les maisons et autres objets d'une autre couleur. Il en résulte, malheureusement, que quand les maisons sont achevées dans le dessin, les arbres ne le sont pas, et que lorsque les arbres le sont, les maisons sont trop finies. La nature morte, l'architecture, voilà le triomphe du &lt;i&gt;Daguerrotype&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 14.75pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;Ajoutons que la ressemblance des effets obtenus par ce procédé, tient de ceux donnés par la gravure au burin et plus encore de la gravure à la manière noire. Quant à la vérité, ils sont au-dessus de tout.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 14.75pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;M. Daguerre avoue généreusement que la première idée de son procédé lui a été fournie, il y a quinze ans, par M. Niens, de Châlons-sur-Marne, mais dans un tel état d'imperfection qu'il lui a fallu un long et opiniâtre travail pour arriver au but qu'il a atteint.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 14.75pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;M. Daguerre doit donner des expériences publiques de sa découverte; lorsqu'elles auront lieu, nous reviendrons à ce procédé important pour les arts des dessins.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;A la fin, nous avons pu voir de nos yeux, toucher de nos mains cette incroyable et admirable invention de Daguerre. Il n'est pas besoin de s'occuper, comme nous faisons, des beaux-arts et de leurs moindres détails, pour connaître Daguerre. Son nom est populaire en Europe; il a été d'abord un peintre habile; mais son art même ne lui a pas suffi, et il a voulu trouver quelque chose un peu au-delà de la peinture. Ce quelque chose, c'était le Diorama. Par la toute-puissance de cet art qu'il agrandissait, Daguerre nous a fait entrer dans l'intérieur des tableaux, dont, avant lui, on ne voyait que la surface. Vous avez pénétré à sa suite dans les vieilles églises en ruines ; vous avez gravi la montagne, descendu le vallon ; vous avez parcouru les fleuves et les mers; l'enchanteur vous a promené sans fatigue dans les plus curieuses capitales ; cet homme habile s'il en fut se jouait de tous les effets les plus multipliés de la lumière et de la couleur, qu'il faisait agir à son gré, l'une et l'autre, comme s'il en était le maître souverain. A de pareils spectacles, si nouveaux pour lui, le public restait ébahi et confondu d'admiration. Les peintres disaient entre eux : Mais quel dommage que Daguerre, ce grand peintre, s'obstine ainsi à faire des tableaux plus beaux que la peinture ! A cette admiration et à ces reproches, Daguerre répondait en souriant ; car lui seul savait bien où il voulait aller.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: '(Utilizar o tipo de letra de te'; color: red; font-size: 17pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.25pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;A force donc d'étudier d'une façon si persévérante dans son sanctuaire du Diorama, où il produisait tant de chefs-d'œuvre, la nuance intime de la lumière et de la couleur; à force de commander au soleil et de le porter çà et là, esclave obéissant et volontaire sur tous les points où il était besoin de son rayon vigoureux ou pâle, l'inventeur du Diorama devait arriver à des résultats étranges. Ce qui n'était pour nous, frivoles, qu’un jeu frivole en apparence, était en résultat une étude sévère et complète de cette science qu'il devait pousser jusqu'aux dernières limites. Vous souvient-il de deux tableanx célèbres du Diorama la Voilée de Goldau et la Messe de Minuit à l'église Saint-Etienne-du-Mont? Dans l'un et l'autre tableau, la lumière agit ainsi : vous voyez d'abord la vallée calme et sereine, comme un beau paysage de la Suisse par un tranquille et frais soleil ; l'humble chalet est posé légèrement sur le versant de la montagne; la verdoyante prairie étend son fin tapis sur les bords du petit ruisseau qui serpente ; la vie est partout dans ce doux petit recoin du monde : l'arbre s'agite, la chèvre broute, l'oiseau chante, le paysan travaille. Tout à coup, mais quelle horrible révolution voici que le sommet de ces montagnes s'ébranle, voici que le gazon disparait pour faire place à la terre bouleversée…… Au secours! au secours ! Une avalanche de terre engloutit le petit chalet, le ruisseau débordé devient un torrent terrible, l'arbre déraciné jette au loin ses branches et sa ruine. Vous assistez ainsi au plus terrible bouleversement, et vous vous écriez : Quelle tempête ! quel affreux tremblement de terre ! Mais qui donc est l'auteur de tous ces ravages ? - L'auteur de tous ces ravages, c'est le même homme qui, tout à l'heure, semait autour as vous tant d'idées fraîches et riantes ; ce tableau terrible d'une dévastation sans bornes, c'est le même paysage si doux sur lequel vos yeux charmés se reposaient tout à l'heure. Par une certaine combinaison de l'ombre, de la lumière et de la couleur, il arrive que tout à coup le chalet est devenu un roc, la prairie une terre fraîchement remuée, le ruisseau un torrent, l'arbre une ruine, l'homme vivant un cadavre. Le vulgaire admirait toutes ces transformations incroyables sans nullement sans rendre compte. Celui seul qui s'en rendait compte complètement, c'était Daguerre.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: red; font-size: 17pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.25pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;Il en était de même de la &lt;i&gt;Messe de minuit&lt;/i&gt;. Vous entriez dans la vieille église, elle était vide. Pas une seule vieille femme agenouillée au pied de l'autel, pas un prêtre dans le sanctuaire, pas un enfant de chœur, pas même le donneur d'eau bénite à la porte. La lumière seule remplissait le vide de ces arceaux gothiques ; elle allait se perdant au loin, éclairant toutes les profondeurs de l'édifice. Peu à peu, cependant, à la lumière décroissante, vous voyez entrer quelques fidèles, puis la foule arriver, puis l'église se remplir jusqu'aux combles. C'en est fait, les cierges s'allument, les prêtres sont dans leurs stalles, les femmes sont agenouillées sur leur prie-dieu, les hommes se tiennent debout dans l’attitude du respect. Dans la chaire gothique, le prédicateur est monté, et il jette à tous la sainte parole. Quand tout est dit, la foule proternée se relève l'église se vide peu à peu, les prêtres rentrent dans la sacristie, le prédicateur descend de sa chaire, le sacristain ferme la porte du temple, le crépuscule du jour naissant redescend sur ces dalles sonores. Cette fois encore l'église est vide, et cependant c'est toujours la même église, c'est toujours le même tableau, rien n'a changé. Vous allez voir maintenant à quel but mystérieux ces essais pérsévérans devaient conduire Daguerre.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.25pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;A force d'études, ce peintre célèbre était parvenu à être un grand chimiste ; il avait observé, sans nul doute, que telle nuance vigoureuse au grand jour, s'effaçait à mesure que s'effaçait la lumière, et disparaissait complètement. Il savait, en outre, ce que nous savons tous, l'action du soleil et de la lumière sur la couleur. Il se proposa donc, avec cette persévérance acharnée qui est le génie, la solution du problème suivant : Trouver une couleur ainsi faite, que le soleil, bien plus, que la lumière seule enlève en partie, pendant que l'autre partie résiste et reste immobile à sa place; forcer le jour à agir sur cette ombre donnée, comme ferait le burin divin de quelque Morghen invisible, et ainsi jeter sur cette planche unie et sombre la forme et la vie ; forcer le soleil, cet œil du monde, à n'être plus qu'un ingénieux ouvrier sous les ordres d'un maître ! voilà sans contredit le plus étrange, le plus difficile, le plus incroyable problème qu'un homme se soit proposé de nos jours. Pour la difficulté, nous ne disons pas pour l'utilité de l'œuvre, l'inventeur de la vapeur ne vient que le second.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.25pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;Par quelle suite incroyable d'essais, de tentatives, de recherches, de péripéties de tous genres, l'auteur du Daguerotype est arrivé au résultat que nous allons vous dire, c'est encore son secret. Plus tard, il l'expliquera lui-même à toute l'Europe, quand la France, libérale et désintéressée entre toutes les nations du monde, lai aura fait à l'Europe, ce noble présent. Toujours est-il qu'à force de persévérance et de génie, et par une suite infinie d'essais, M. Daguerre est arrivé au résultat que voici : II a composé un certain vernis noir; ce vernis s'étend sur une planche quelconque la planche est exposée au grand jour, et aussitôt, et quelle que soit l'ombre qui se projette sur cette planche, la terre ou le ciel, ou l'eau courante, la cathédrale qui se perd dans le nuage, ou bien la pierre, le pavé, le grain de sable imperceptible qui flotte à la surface toutes ces choses, grandes ou petites, qui sont égales devant le solail, se gravent à l’instant même dans cette espèce de chambre obscure qui conserve toutes les empreintes. Jamais le dessin des plus grands maîtres n'a produit de dessin pareil. Si la masse est admirable, les détails sont infinis. Songez donc que c'est le soleil lui-même, introduit cette fois comme l'agent tout puissant d'un art tout nouveau, qui produit ces travaux incroyables.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: red; font-size: 17pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;Cette fois, ce n'est plus le regard incertain de 1’homme qui, découvre au loin l'ombre ou la lumière, ce n'est plus sa main tremblante qui reproduit sur un papier mobile la scène changeante de ce monde, que le vide emporte.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: red; font-size: 17pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.25pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;Cette fois; il n'est plus besoin de passer trois jours sous le même point du ciel ou de la terre pour en avoir à peine une ombre défigurée. Le prodige s'opère à l'instant même, aussi prompt que la pensée, aussi rapide que le rayon du soleil qui va frapper là-bas l'aride montagne ou la fleur è peine éclose. Il y a un beau passage dans la &lt;i&gt;Bible&lt;/i&gt; : Dieu dit : &lt;i&gt;Que la lumière soit, la lumière fut&lt;/i&gt;. A cette heure vous direz aux tours de Notre-Dame : « Placez-vous là », et les tours obéiront; et c'est ainsi qu'elles ont obéi à Dagaerre, qui, un beau jour, les a rapportées chez lui tout entières, depuis la pierre formidable sur laquelle elles sont fondées, jusqu'à la flèche mince et légère qu'elles portent dans les airs, et que personne n'avait vue encore, excepté Daguerre et le soleil.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: red; font-size: 17pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.25pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;Ce que nous vous disons là est bien étrange; mais rien n'est incroyable comme certaines vérités. Napoléon lui même, cet homme qui comprenait toute chose, n'a pas voulu croire qu'une légère vapeur enfermée dans un tube de fer pouvait soulever le monde et il appelait un jouet d'enfant ce bateau à vapeur qui fonctionnait sous ses yeux. Il faudra bien cependant qu'on croie au &lt;i&gt;Daguerotype&lt;/i&gt;; car nulle main humaine ne pourrait dessiner comme dessine le soleil; nul regard humain ne pourrait plonger aussi avant dans ces flots de lumière, dans ces ténèbres profondes. Nous avons vu ainsi reproduits les plus grands monumens de Paris, qui, cette fois, va devenir véritablement la ville éternelle. Nous avons vu le Louvre, l'Institut, les Tuileries, le Pont-Neuf, Notre-Dame de Paris; nous avons vu le pavé de la Grève, l'eau de la Seine, le ciel qui couvre Sainte Geneviève, et dans chacun de ces chefs-d'œuvre c'était la même perfection divine.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.25pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;L'art n'a plus rien à débattre avec ce nouveau rival ; il ne s' agit pas ici, notez-le bien, d'une grossière invention mécanique qui reproduit tout au plus des masses sans ombre, sans détail, sans autre résultat qu’un bénéfice de quelques heures d'un travail manuel. Non, il s'agit ici de la plus délicate, de la plus fine de la plus complète reproduction à laquelle puissent aspirer les œuvres de Dieu et les ouvrages des hommes. Et notez bien encore ceci, que cette reproduction est bien loin d'être une et uniforme, comme on pourrait le croire encore. Au contraire, pas un de ces tableaux, exécutés d'après le même procédé, ne ressemble au tableau précédent : l'heure du jour, la couleur du ciel, la limpidité de l'air, la douce chaleur du printemps, la rude austérité de l'hiver, les teintes chaudes de l'automne, le raflet de l'eau transparente, tous les accidens de l'atmosphère se reproduisent merveilleusement dans ces tableaux merveilleux qu'on dirait enfantés sous le souffle des génies aériens.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: red; font-size: 17pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.25pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;C'est ainsi que dans une suite de tableaux créés par le &lt;i&gt;Daguerotype&lt;/i&gt;, nous avons vu Paris reproduit par un chaud rayon de soleil; le soleil avait déteint sur ces nobles murailles, qui ressortaient vigoureusement de cette ombre fantastique ; après quoi nous avons vu Paris reproduit sous son voile de nuages, quand l'eau descend tristement goutte à goutte, quand le ciel est couvert d'un crêpe mouillé, quand le froid resserre tristement les moindres pierres de la ville. Ainsi, eette manière de reproduire le monde extérieur ajoutera au grand mérite d'une fidélité de détail impossible à dire, le grand mérite d'une incroyable fidélité de la lumière. Il arrivera donc qu'au premier coup d'œil, vous reconnaîtrez le dessin reproduit par le pâle soleil parisien, et le dessin exécuté par l'ardent soleil d'Italie. Vous direz à coup sûr : voici un paysage rapporté des froids vallons de la Suisse ; voici un aspect emprunté aux déserts de Sahara; vous distinguerez le campanille de Florence des tours de Notre-Dame, par la seule inspection du ciel dans lequel elles s'élèvent l'une et l'autre, les deux tours élégantes ou terribles. Merveilleuse découverte en effet, qui conserve non seulement l'identité des lieux, mais encore l'identité du soleil.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: red; font-size: 17pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.25pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;Et notez bien encore que l'homme reste toujous le maître, même de la lumière qu'il fait agir. Une seconde de plus ou de moins, consacrée à cette œuvre, compte pour beaucoup. Tenez-vons aux détails plus qu'à la masse ? en deux minutes, vous avez un dessin comme les fait Martinn ; confusion poétique et tant soit peu voilée, dans laquelle l'œil devine plus de choses qu'il n'en voit en effet. Voulez-vous, au contraire, comme l'architecte, que le monument vienne en relief et se montre à vous tel qu'il a été construit et dégagé de tout entourage qui pourrait en diminuer l'effet ? Cette fois encore, le soleil obéira, il dévorera tous les accessoires, et votre monument restera isolé, comme la colonne au milieu de la place Vendôme. Vous obtiendrez par le même procédé tous les effets que vous voudrez obtenir, depuis l'aube naissante jusqu'aux derniers crépuscules du soir. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.25pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;Ce qui n'est pas un de nos moindres sujets d'admiration,&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;c'est qu'une fois l'œuvre accomplie par le soleil ou la lumière, le soleil ou la lumière n'y peuvent plus rien. Ce frêle vernis, sur lequel le moindre rayon avait tant d'empire tout à l'heure, maintenant vous l'exposez en vain au grand jour; il est durable, impérissable somme une gravure sur acier. Il est impossible de commander d'une façon plus impérieuse; c'est dire vraiment à la lumière : &lt;i&gt;Tu n'iras pas plus loin&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: red; font-size: 17pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.25pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;Vous avez vu l'effet de la chambre obscure. Dans la chambre obscure se reflètent les objets extérieurs avec une vérité sans égale; mais la chambre obscure ne produit rien par elle-même; ce n'est pas un tableau, c'est un miroir dans lequel rien ne reste. Figurez-vous, maintenant, que le miroir a gardé l'empreinte de tous les objets qui s'y sont reflétés vous aurez une idée à peu près complète du&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: red; font-size: 17pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;Daguerotype&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: red; font-size: 17pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.25pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;Mais bien plus, la lune elle-même, cette incertaine et mouvante clarté, ce pâle reflet du soleil, dont il est éloigné de quarante millions de lieues ; la lune mord aussi sur cette couleur, qu'on peut dire inspirés. Nous avons vu le portrait de l'astre changeant se refléter dans le miroir de Daguerre, au grand étonnement da cet illustre Arago, qui ne savait pas tant de puissance à son astre favori.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: red; font-size: 17pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.25pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;Soumettez au microscope solaire l'aile d'une mouche, et le &lt;i&gt;Daguerotype&lt;/i&gt;, aussi puissant que le microspoce, va reproduire l'aile de cette mouche dans ces dimensions incommensurables, qu'on dirait emprutées aux contes des fées. Maintenant, est-il besoin de vous dire toutes les applications sans fin de cette immense découverte, qui sera peut-être l’honneur de ce siècle? Le &lt;i&gt;Daguerotype&lt;/i&gt; est destiné à reproduire les beaux aspects de la nature et de l'art, à peu près comme l'imprimerie reproduit les chefs-d'œuvre de l'esprit humain. C'est une gravure à la portée de tous et de chacun; c'est un crayon obéissant comme la pensée; c'est un miroir qui garde toutes les empreintes; c'est la mémoire fidèle de tous les monumens, de tous les paysages de l'univers; c'est la reproduction incessante, spontanée, infatigable, des cent mille chefs-d'œuvre que le temps a renversés ou construits sur la surface du globe. Le Daguerotype sera le compagnon indispensable du voyageur qui ne sait pas dessiner, et de l'artiste qui n'a pas le temps de dessiner. Il est destiné à populariser chez nous, et à peu de frais, les plus belles œuvres des arts dont nous n'avons que des copies coûteuses et infidèles; avant peu, et quand on ne voudra pas être soi-même son propre graveur, on enverra son enfant au Musée, et on lui dira : II faut que dans trois heures tu me rapportes un tableau de Murillo ou de Raphaël. On écrira a Rome : Envoyez-moi par le prochain courrier la coupole de Saint-Pierre, et la coupole de Saint-Pierre vous arrivera courrier pour courrier. Vous passez, à Anvers, vous admirez la maison de Rubens, et vous envoyez à votre architecte cette maison sans rivale dans les caprices flamands Voilà, dites-vous, la maison que je veux bâtir; et, sur ce dessin fidèle, l'architecte retrouve un à un tous les ornemens de cette pierre devenue dentelle sous le ciseau du sculpteur. Désormais, le &lt;i&gt;Daguerotype&lt;/i&gt; suffira à tous les besoins des arts, à tous les caprices de la vie. Vous emporterez avec vous, et sans qu'elle le sache, la blanche maison sous laquelle se cache votre maîtresse. Vous ferez vous-même la copie d'un beau portrait de M. Ingres, et vous direz : Que m'importe à présent que ce portrait n'ait point été livré à la gravure? j'ai beaucoup mieux qu'une gravure, j'ai aussi bien qu'un dessin de M. Ingres. Mon Dieu, pour se servir de cet ingénieux miroir, il ne sera pas besoin d'être un grand voyageur dans les pays déserts comme M. Combes, d'être un grand poëte comme M. de Lamartine, de marcher comme le comte Demidoff à travers les déserts de la Russie méridionale à la tête d'une armée de savans et d'artistes ; dans les plus simples et les plus douces passions de la vie, le &lt;i&gt;Daguerotype&lt;/i&gt; aura son utilité et son charme; il reproduira à l'instant toute les choses aimées le fauteuil de l'aïeul, le berceau de l'enfant, la tombe du vieillard.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: red; font-size: 17pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.25pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;M. Daguerre espère bien qu'avant peu il parviendra aussi à obtenir le portrait, sans qu'il soit besoin du portrait préalable de M. Ingres. Il est déjà en train d'inventer une machine à l'aide de laquelle le sujet restera parfaitement immobile; car telle est la puissance de ce reproducteur acharné, le&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: red; font-size: 17pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;Daguerotype&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;, qu'il reproduit à l'instant même le coup d'œil, le froncement du sourcil, la moindre ride du front, la moindre boucle de cheveux qui s'agite. Prenez la loupe ; voyez-vous, sur ce sable uni, ce quelque chose d'un peu plus obscur que le reste? c'est un oiseau qui aura passé dans le ciel.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: red; font-size: 17pt; mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.25pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoBodyText2" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language: fr" lang="FR"&gt;Nous vivons dans une singulière époque; nous ne songeons plus de nos jours à rien produire par nous-mêmes ; mais, en revanche, nous recherchons avec une persévérance sans égale les moyens de faire reproduire pour nous et à notre place. La vapeur a quintuplé le nombre des travailleurs ; avant peu, les chemins de fer doubleront ce capital fugitif qu'on appelle la vie; le gaz a remplacé le soleil; on tente à cette heure des essais sans fin pour trouver un chemin dans les airs. Cette rage de moyens surnaturels a passé bientôt du monde des faits daas le moufle des idées, du commerce dans les arts. Il n'y a pas déjà si long-temps qu'a été inventé le Diagraphe-Gavard, au moyen duquel les plafonds obéissans du palais de Versailles viennent d'eux-mêmes se poser sur le papier, reproduits par la main d'un enfant sans expérience. L'autre jour encore, un autre homme de génie, le même qui a trouvé le moyen de reproduire en relief toutes les médailles antiques ou modernes, M. Colas, inventait une roue à l'aide de laquelle il a reproduit, avec une admirable et incroyable vérité, la &lt;i&gt;Vénus de Milo&lt;/i&gt;. Voici maintenant qu'avec cet enduit étendu sur une planche de cuivre, M. Daguerre remplace le dessin et la gravure. Laisssez-les faire, avant peu vous aurez des machines qui vous dicteront des comédies de Molière et feront des vers comme le grand Corneille : ainsi soit-il.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.25pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: fr; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt" lang="FR"&gt;Use proposition va être faite aux Chambres par M. Arago lui-même, pour donner à M. Daguerre, non pas un brevet d'invention, il est tout disposé à démontrer publiquement son procédé, mais une récompense nationale qui lui donne la moyen de se ruiner encore une fois pour une nouvelle découverte. Certes, malgré toute sa prudence de nation constitutionnelle, représentée par des bourgeois très peu disposés à estimer tout ce qui n'est pas une charrue, une forge, ou une truelle, la France ne saurait trop récompenser ce génie et cette persévérance, arrivés à un pareil résultat. Elle accordera, sans nul doute, à l'auteur de la gravure universelle, non pas la récompense qu'il mérite, mais seulement la récompense qu'il demande. Puis, quand elle aura fait de Daguerre un homme riche autant qu'il est cdlèbre; quand elle lui aura ouvert les portes de cet Institut qui le réclame la France dira à l'Europe : Je vous ai déjà donné la vapeur; maintenant baissez-vous et ramassez à mes pieds le nouveau présent que je vous fais.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: right; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="right"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt"&gt;J.

This property appeared to me to be perhaps capable of useful application in the following manner.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;I proposed to spread on a sheet of paper a sufficient quantity of the nitrate of silver; &amp;amp; then to set the paper in the sunshine, having first placed before it some object casting a well defined shadow.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;The light, acting on the rest of the paper would naturally blacken it, while the parts in shadow would retain their whiteness. Thus I expected that a kind of image or picture would be produced, resembling to a certain degree the object from which it was derived.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;I expected however also, that it would be necessary to preserve such images in a portfolio, &amp;amp; to view them only by candlelights: because, if by daylight, the same natural process which formed the images, would destroy them, by blackening the rest of the paper.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;Such was my leading idea, before it was enlarged &amp;amp; corrected by experience.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;It was not until some time after, &amp;amp; when I was in possession of several novel &amp;amp; curious results, that I thought of enquiring whether this process had been ever proposed or attempted before?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;I found that in fact it had: but apparently not followed up to any extent, or with much perseverance, the few notices that I have been able to meet with, one vague and unsatisfactory; merely stating that such a method exists of obtaining the outline of an object, but going into no details respecting the best &amp;amp; most advantageous manner of proceeding.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;The only definite account of the matter which I have been able to meet with, is contained in the first volume of the Journal of the Royal Institution page 170. from which it appears that the idea was originally started by Mr. Wedgwood, and a numerous series of experiments made both by him &amp;amp; Sir Humphry Davy, which however ended in failure.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;I will take the liberty of quoting a few passages from this memoir.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;“The copy of a painting, immediately after being taken, must be kept in an obscure place.

To copy these images was the first object of Mr. Wedgwood, but all his numerous experiments proved unsuccessful.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;These are the observations of Sir Humphry Davy. I have been informed by a scientific friend that this unfavourable result of Mr. Wedgwood’s &amp;amp; Sir Humphry Davy’s experiments, was the chief cause which discouraged him from following up with perseverance, the idea, which he had also entertained of fixing the beautiful images of the camera obscura.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;And no doubt, when so distinguished an experimenter as Sir H. Davy announced “that all experiments had proved unsuccessful” such a statement was calculated materially to discourage further inquiry.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;The circumstance also, announced by Davy, that the paper on which these images were depicted, was liable to become entirely dark; &amp;amp; that nothing hitherto tried, would prevent it; would perhaps have induced one to consider the attempt as hopeless - if I had not (fortunately) before I read it, already discovered a method of overcoming this difficulty, &amp;amp; of fixing the image in such a manner, that it is no more liable to injury or destruction.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;In the course of my experiments directed to that end, I have been astonished at the variety of effects which I have found produced by a very limited number of different processes when combined in various ways; and also at the length of time which sometimes elapses before the fade effect of these manifests itself with certainty.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;For, I have found, that images formed in this manner, which have appeared in good preservation at the end of 12 months from the time of their formation, have nevertheless somewhat altered during the second year. This circumstance added to the fact that the first attempts which I made, became indistinct in process of time (the paper growing wholly dark) induced me to watch the process of the change during some considerable time: as I thought that perhaps all these images would ultimately be found to fade away.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;I found however to my satisfaction, that this was not the case: and having now kept a number of these drawings during nearly five years, without their suffering any deterioration I think myself authorised to draw conclusions from my experiments with more certainty.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;

Consequently, if a picture, produced by solar light, is subjected afterwards to any chemical process, the white &amp;amp; dark parts of it will be differently acted upon: &amp;amp; there is no evidence, that after this action has taken place, these white &amp;amp; dark parts will any longer be subject to a spontaneous change. Or, if they are so, still it does not follow that that change will &lt;u&gt;now&lt;/u&gt; tend to assimilate them to each other.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;In case of their remaining &lt;u&gt;dissimilar&lt;/u&gt; the picture will remain visible, &amp;amp; therefore our object will be accomplished.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;If it should be asserted that exposure to sunshine would &lt;u&gt;necessarily&lt;/u&gt; reduce the whole to one uniform tint, &amp;amp; destroy the picture, the &lt;u&gt;onus probandi&lt;/u&gt; evidently lies on those who make the assertion. If we designate by the letter A the exposure to the solar light; and by B some indeterminate Chemical process, my argument was this: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt"&gt;- &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;Since it cannot be shown &lt;u&gt;à prior&lt;/u&gt;i that the final result of the series of processes A.

This I did not discover until after I had acquired considerable practice in this art; having supposed at first that all these pictures would ultimately become indistinct if not preserved in some way from the change.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;But experience has shown to me that there are at least two or three different ways in which the process may be conducted so that the images shall possess a character of durability, provided they are kept from the action of direct sunshine. These ways have presented themselves to notice rather accidentally than otherwise: in some instances without any particular memoranda having been made at the time; so that I am not yet prepared to state accurately, on which particular thing this sort of semi-durability depends, or what cause is best to be followed in order to obtain it. But as I have found that certain of the images which have been subjected to no preserving process, remain quite white and perfect after the lapse of a year or two, &amp;amp; indeed show no symptom whatever of changing: which others differently prepared (&amp;amp; left unpreserved) have grown quite dark in one tenth of that time – I think this singularity requires to be pointed out. Whether it will be of much value I do not know: perhaps it will be thought better to incur at first the small additional trouble of employing the preserving process, especially as the drawings thus prepared will stand the sunshine; while the unpreserved ones, however well they last in a portfolio or in common daylight, should not be risked in a very strong light, as they would be liable to change thereby even years after their original formation. This very quality however admits of useful application. For, this semidurable paper, which retains its whiteness for years in the shade, &amp;amp; yet suffers a change whenever exposed to the solar light, is evidently well suited to the use of a naturalist travelling in a distant country, who may wish to keep some memorial of the plants he finds, without having the trouble of drying them &amp;amp; carrying them about with him. He would only have to take a sheet of this paper, throw the image upon it &amp;amp; replace it in his portfolio.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;The defect of this particular paper is, that in general the &lt;u&gt;ground&lt;/u&gt; is not even; but this is of no consequence where utility alone &amp;amp; not beauty of effect, is consulted.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="center"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;Portraits&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;Another purpose for which I think my method will be found very convenient is the making of outline portraits, or &lt;u&gt;silhouettes&lt;/u&gt;. These are now often traced by the hand, from shadows projected by a candle. But the hand is liable to err from the true outline, &amp;amp; a very small deviation causes a notable diminution in the resemblance. I believe this manual process cannot be compared with the truth and fidelity with which the portrait is given by means of solar light.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="center"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;Paintings on glass &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;The shadow pictures which are found by exposing paintings on glass to solar light, are very pleasing. The glass itself, around the painting, should be blackened: such, for instance as are often employed for the magic lantern. The paintings on the glass should have no bright yellows or reds, for these stop the violet rays of light which are the only effective ones. The pictures thus formed resemble the productions of the artist’s pencil more,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;perhaps, than any of the others. Persons to whom I have shown them have generally mistaken them for such, at the same time observing, that the &lt;u&gt;style&lt;/u&gt; was new to them, &amp;amp; must be one rather difficult to acquire.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;It is in these pictures only, that as yet, I have observed indications of &lt;u&gt;Colour&lt;/u&gt;. I have not had time to pursue this branch of the enquiry further. It would be a great thing if by any means we could accomplish the delineation of objects in their natural colours. I am not very sanguine respecting the possibility of this: yet, as I have just now remarked, it appears possible to obtain at least &lt;u&gt;some indication&lt;/u&gt; of variety of tint.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="center"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;Application to the Microscope&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;I now come to a branch of the subject which appears to be very important and likely to prove extensively useful - the application of my method of delineating objects, to the solar microscope.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;The objects which the microscope unfolds to our view, curious &amp;amp; wonderful as they are, are often singularly complicated. The eye indeed may comprehend the whole which is presented to it, in the field of view: but the powers of the pencil fail to express these minutiae of nature in their innumerable details. What artist could have skill or patience enough to copy them? Or, granting that he could do so, must it not be at the expense of much most valuable time, which might be more usefully employed?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;Contemplating the beautiful picture which the solar microscope produces, the thought struck me whether it might not be possible to cause that image to impress itself upon the paper, &amp;amp; thus to let Nature substitute her own imitable pencil, for the imperfect tedious &amp;amp; almost hopeless attempt of copying a subject so intricate?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;My first attempt had no success. Although I chose a light day, &amp;amp; formed a good image of my object, upon prepared paper; on returning at the expiration of an hour I found that no effect had taken place – I was thereupon half inclined to abandon this experiment, when it occurred to me, that there was no reason to suppose that the common nitrate of silver was the most sensitive substance that exists, to the action of the Chemical Rays: and though such should eventually prove to be the fact, at any rate it was not to be assumed without proof.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;I therefore began a course of experiments in order to ascertain the influence of various modes of preparation, &amp;amp; I found these to be signally different in their results. I considered this matter chiefly in a practical point of view; for as to the theory, I confess that I cannot as yet understand the reason why the paper prepared in one way should be so much more sensitive, than in another.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;The result of these experiments was the discovery of a mode of preparation vastly superior in sensibility to what I had originally employed: &amp;amp; by means of this, all those effects which I had before only anticipated as theoretically possible were found to be capable of realization.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;When a sheet of this, which I shall call “&lt;u&gt;Sensitive Paper&lt;/u&gt;” is placed in a dark chamber &amp;amp; the magnified image of some object thrown on it by the solar microscope; after the lapse of perhaps a quarter of an hour, the picture is found to be completed. I have not as yet used high magnifying power, on account of the consequent enfeeblement of the light. Of course, with a more sensitive paper, greater magnifying power will become desirable.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;On examining one of these pictures, which I made about 3 years &amp;amp; a half ago, I find, by actual measurement of the picture and the object, that the latter is magnified 17 times in linear diameter, &amp;amp; in surface consequently 289 times. I have others which I believe are considerably more magnified; but I have lost the corresponding objects, so that I cannot here state the exact numbers.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;Not only does this process save our time &amp;amp; trouble, but there are many objects, especially microscopic crystallisations, which alter so greatly in the cause of 3 or 4 days (and it could hardly take any artist less to delineate them in all their details) that they could never be drawn in the usual way.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;I will now describe the &lt;u&gt;degree of sensitiveness&lt;/u&gt; which this paper possesses - premising that I am far from supposing that I have reached the limit of which this quality is capable. On the contrary, considering the few experiments which I have made, (few, that is, in comparison with the number which it would be easy to imagine &amp;amp; propose) I think it most likely, that other methods may be found, by which substances may be prepared perhaps as much transcending in sensitiveness the one which I have employed, as that does the ordinary state of the nitrate of silver.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;But, to confine myself to what I have actually accomplished, in the preparation of a very sensitive paper.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;When a sheet of this paper is brought towards a window, not one through which the sun shines, but looking in the opposite direction, it immediately begins to discolour.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;For this reason, if the paper is prepared by sunlight, it must by no means be left uncovered, but as soon as finished be shut up in a drawer or cupboard &amp;amp; there left to dry: or else, dried at night by the warmth of a fire.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;Before using this paper for the delineation of any object, I generally approach it for a little time towards the light, thus intentionally giving it a slight shade of colour, for the purpose of seeing that the&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;u&gt;ground&lt;/u&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;is &lt;u&gt;even&lt;/u&gt;. If it appears so, when thus tried to a small extent, it will generally be found to prove so in the final result. But if there are some places or spots in it which do not acquire the same tint as the rest, such a sheet of paper should be rejected: for there is a risk that when employed – instead of presenting a ground uniformly dark, which is essential to the beauty of the drawing, it will have large white spots, - places altogether insensible to the effect of light. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;This singular circumstance I shall revert to elsewhere: it is sufficient to mention it here:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;The paper then, which is thus readily sensitive to the light of a common window, is of course much more so, to the direct sunshine. Indeed, such is the velocity of the effect then produced, that the picture may be said to be ended almost as soon as it is begun.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;To give some more definite idea of the rapidity of the process, I will state, that after various trials the nearest evaluation which I could make of the time necessary for obtaining the picture of an object so as to have pretty distinct outlines, when I employed the full sunshine, was &lt;u&gt;half a second&lt;/u&gt;.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="center"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;Architecture, Landscape, &amp;amp; external Nature&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;But perhaps the most curious application of this art is the one I am now about to relate. At least, it is that which has appeared the most surprising to those who have examined my collection of pictures formed by solar light.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;Everyone is acquainted with the beautiful effects which are produced by a Camera Obscura &amp;amp; has admired the vivid picture of external nature which it displays. It had often occurred to me, that if it were possible to retain upon the paper the lovely scene which thus illuminates it for a moment; or if we could but fix the outlines of it, the lights &amp;amp; shadows: divested of all &lt;u&gt;colour&lt;/u&gt;; such a result could not fail to be most interesting. And however much I might be disposed at first to treat this notion as a scientific dream, yet when I had succeeded in fixing the images of the Solar Microscope by means of a peculiarly sensitive paper, there appeared no longer any doubt that an analogous process would succeed in &lt;u&gt;copying&lt;/u&gt; the objects of external nature although indeed they are much less illuminated.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;Not having with me in the country a &lt;u&gt;camera obscura&lt;/u&gt; of any considerable size, I constructed one out of a large box, the image being thrown upon one end of it by a good object glass fixed in the opposite end.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;This apparatus being armed with a sensitive paper was taken out in a summer afternoon &amp;amp; placed about 100 yards from a building favourably illuminated by the sun. An hour or two afterwards I opened the box, &amp;amp; I found depicted upon the paper a very distinct representation of the building, with the exception of those parts of it which were in the shade.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;A little experience in this branch of the art showed me, that with smaller &lt;u&gt;camera obscuræ&lt;/u&gt; the effect would be produced in a smaller time.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;Accordingly I had several small boxes made, in which I fixed lenses of shorter focus, and with these I obtained very perfect but extremely small pictures: such as without great stretch of imagination might be supposed to be the work of some Lilliputian artist. They require indeed examination with a lens, to discover all their minutiæ.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;In the summer of 1835 I made in this way a great number of representations of my house in the country; which is well suited to the purpose, from its ancient &amp;amp; remarkable architecture. And this building I believe to be the first, that was ever yet known &lt;u&gt;to have drawn its own picture&lt;/u&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;The method of proceeding was this: - Having first adjusted the paper to the proper focus, in each of these little &lt;u&gt;cameræ&lt;/u&gt;, I then took a number of them with me out of doors, &amp;amp; placed them in different situations around the building. After the lapse of half an hour I gathered them all up, &amp;amp; brought them within doors to open them. When opened, there was found in each a miniature picture of the objects before which it had been placed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;To the traveller in distant lands, who is ignorant as too many unfortunately are, of the art of drawing, this little invention may prove of real service. And even to the artist himself, however skilful he may be. For although this natural process does not produce an effect much resembling the productions of his pencil; &amp;amp; therefore cannot be considered as capable of replacing them: yet it is to be recollected that he may often be so situated, as to be able to devote only a single hour to the delineation of some very interesting locality. Now, since nothing prevents him from simultaneously disposing, in different positions, any number of these little &lt;u&gt;cameræ&lt;/u&gt;, it is evident that their collective results, when examined afterwards, may furnish him with a large body of interesting memorials, &amp;amp; with numerous details which he had not had himself time either to note down or to delineate.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="center"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;Delineations of sculpture.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;Another use which I propose to make of my invention is for the copying of statues &amp;amp; basreliefs. I place these in strong sunshine, &amp;amp; put before them at a proper distance &amp;amp; in the requisite position a small camera obscura containing the prepared paper. In this way I have obtained images of various statues &amp;amp;c. I have not pursued this branch of the subject to any extent: but I expect interesting results from it &amp;amp; that it may be usefully employed under many circumstances.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="center"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;Copying of Engravings&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;The invention may be employed with great facility for obtaining copies of drawings, or engravings, or facsimiles of M.S.S.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;For this purpose the engraving is pressed upon the prepared paper, with its engraved side in contact with the latter. The pressure must be as uniform as possible, that the contact may be perfect: for, the least interval sensibly injures the result, by producing a kind of clouding in lieu of the sharp strokes of the original.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;When placed in the sun, the solar light gradually traverses the paper, except in those placed where it is prevented from doing so by the opaque lines of the engraving. It therefore of course makes an exact images or print of the design. This is one of the experiments which Davy and Wedgwood state that they tried, but failed, from want of sufficient sensibility in their paper.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;The length of time requisite for effecting the copy depends on the thickness of the paper onwhich the engraving has been printed.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;At first I thought that it would not be possible to succeed with thick papers: but I found on trial that the success of the method was by no means so limited. It is enough for the purpose, if thepaper allows any of the solar light to pass. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;Then the paper is thick, I allow half an hour for the formation of a good copy. In this way I have copied very minute complicated &amp;amp; delicate engravings, crowded with figures of small size, which were rendered with great distinctness.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;The effect of the copy, though of course unlike the original, (substituting as it does lights for shadows and vice versa) yet is often very pleasing, &amp;amp; would I think suggest to artists useful ideas respecting light &amp;amp; shade.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;It may be supposed that the engraving would be soiled or injured by being thus pressed against the prepared paper. There is not much danger of this, provided both are perfectly dry. It may be well to mention however, that in case any stain should be perceived on the engraving it may be readily removed by a chemical application which does no injury whatever to the paper. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;In copying engravings &amp;amp;c. by this method, the lights &amp;amp; shadows are reversed: consequently the effect is wholly altered. But if the picture so obtained is first &lt;u&gt;preserved&lt;/u&gt; so as to bear sunshine, it may be afterwards itself employed as an object to be copied: &amp;amp; by means of this second process the lights &amp;amp; shadows are brought back to their original disposition. In this way we have indeed to contend with the imperfections arising from 2 processes instead of one; but I believe this will be found merely a difficulty of manipulation. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;I propose to employ this for the purpose more particularly of multiplying at small expense copies of such rare or unique engravings as it would not be worth while to reengrave, from the limited demand for them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;I will now add a few remarks concerning the very singular circumstance which I have before briefly mentioned, viz. that the paper sometimes, although intended to be prepared of the most sensitive quality, turns out on trial to be wholly insensible to light, &amp;amp; incapable of change. The most singular part of this, is the very small difference in the mode of preparation which causes so wide a discrepancy in the results. For instance, a sheet of paper is all prepared at the same time, &amp;amp; with the intention of giving it as much uniformity as possible. And yet, when exposed to sunshine, this paper will exhibit large white spots of very definite outline, where the preparing process has failed; the rest of the paper, where it has succeeded, turning black as rapidly as possible. Sometimes the spots are of a pale tint of cærulean blue, &amp;amp; are surrounded by exceedingly definite outlines of perfect whiteness contrasting very much with the blackness of the part immediately succeeding.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;With regard to the theory of this, I am only prepared to state as my opinion at present that it is a case of what is called “unstable equilibrium”. The process followed is such as to produce one of two definite chemical compounds; &amp;amp; when we happen to come near the limit which separates the two cases, it depends upon exceedingly small &amp;amp; often imperceptible circumstances, which of the two compounds shall be formed.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;That they are both definite compounds, is of course at present, merely my conjecture: - that they are signally different is evident from their dissimilar properties.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;I have thus endeavoured to give a brief outline of some of the peculiarities attending this new process, which I offer to the lovers of Science &amp;amp; Nature.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;That it is susceptible of great improvements I have no manner of doubt: but even in its present state I believe it will be found capable of many useful and important applications besides those which I have given a short account in the preceding pages.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

By H. F. Talbot, Esq., F.R.S.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 17.7pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 17.7pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;In this communication the author states, that during the last four or five years he has invented and brought to a considerable degree of perfection, a process for copying the forms of natural objects by means of solar light, wich is received upon paper previously prepared in a particular manner. He observes, that a prior attempt of this kind is recorded in the Journal of the Royal Institution for 1802; by which it appears that the idea was originally suggested by Mr. Wedgwood, and afterwards experimented on by Sir Humphry Davy. These philosophers found, that their principle, though theoretically true, yet failed in practice, on account of certain difficulties; the two principal of which were: &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt;first&lt;/i&gt;, that the paper could not be rendered sufficiently sensible to receive any impression whatever from the feeble light of a camera obscura; and &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt;secondly&lt;/i&gt;, that the pictures which were formed by the solar rays could not be preserved, owing to their still continuing to be acted upon by the light.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 17.7pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;The author states that his experiments were begun without his being aware of this prior attempt; and that in the course of them he discovered methods of overcoming the two difficulties above related. With respect to the latter; he says, that he has found it possible by a subsequent process, so to fix the images or shadows formed by the solar rays, that they become insensible to light, and consequently admit of being preserved during any lengt of time: as an example of which, he mentions, that he has exposed some of his pictures to the sunshine for the space of an hour, without injury.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 17.7pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;With respect to the other point, he states that he has succeeded in discovering a method of preparing the paper which renders it much more sensitive to light than any which had been used previously; and by means of which he finds, that there is no difficulty in fixing the pictures given by the camera obscura and by the solar microscope.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 17.7pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;He states that in the summer of 1835 he made a great number of portraits of a house in the country of ancient architecture, several of which were this evening exhibited to the Society.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

great sensation created by the new discovey in the fine arts, which our friends on the other side of the Channel have, with national and personal characteristicness, chosen to call &lt;i&gt;Dagueroscope&lt;/i&gt;, but which our unpretending countryman, Mr. Talbot (rather than &lt;i&gt;Talbotoscope&lt;/i&gt;), has dominated &lt;i&gt;Photogenic&lt;/i&gt;, has induced us to bestow further attention upon the subject, which we had the pleasure of first making known to the public. What is done in the &lt;i&gt;Litterary Gazette&lt;/i&gt; to-day will be important, as settling the claim to originality in regard to all parties concerned in this interesting discovery. The flavour of a letter from Mr. Talbot (a gentleman so justly honoured in the scientific circles), puts on record the unquestionable dates of his experiments ; and we have seen and examined the exquisit specimens which mark his progress and demonstrate his success. The statements are corroborated by the usual Reports from the Royal Institution and Royal Society; which we have not been anxious to give so much in detail, in consequence of our possessing Mr. Talbot’s own lucid and unassuming account of what he has achieved. In order to complete the matter, as far as present circumstances admit, we have also, at the risk of repetition, procured the most accurated details of M. Daguerre process, and the opinion of the French philosophers thereon. as he is recommended to be more secret than Mr. Talbot has been, in order that he may treat with government for his sufficient reward, we cannot, of course, speak more plaintly than the somewhat flowery descripition we have received enables us. But we think enough appears to render it palpable that there is a very considerable difference between the materials employed, themeans used, and theresults. Thus, at the Royal Institution, on Friday evening, were exhibited a variety of specimens of a process invented by Mr. Talbot, but which appears to differ from that of M. Daguerre, especially in this, that Mr. Talbot reverses the natural effect, representing dark objects light, and light objects dark.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 19.8pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;Different preparations of silver seem to be adopted – nitrate, chloruret, and probably others; but whoever attains the object most effectually, it is a generous rivalry, and will, we trust, be continued to the end. Mr. Talbot’s method of fixing his drawings, so that the sun can effect or alter them no more, is of the utmost value. His copying of engravings (there is a sweet one of Venice), by first getting them with the lights and shades reversed, but then copying from the reversed impression, as before, is singularly ingenious. Figures painted on glass are exquisitely rendered; and an oriel window of many feet square is reduced to a picture of two inches, in which every line is preserved with a minuteness inconceivable until seen by the microscope.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 19.8pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;At present we will not dilate any further on this memorable topic, but beg to suggest experiments with the hydro-oxygen powers of light, or such lights as Lieut.

My written communication to the Royal Society was, from its length, necessarily deferred to the week following *&lt;i&gt;(&lt;a style="mso-endnote-id: edn2" title="" href="#_edn2" name="_ednref2"&gt;&lt;span class="MsoEndnoteReference"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-special-character: footnote"&gt;[ii]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;These steps I took, not with the intention of rivalising with M. Daguerre in the perfection of his process (of which I know nothing, but am ready to believe all that Biot and Arago have stated in their praise),&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;but to preclude the possibility of its being said hereafter, that I had borrowed the idea from him, or was indebted to him, or any one, for the means of overcoming the principal difficulties.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.75pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;As the process of M. Daguerre is at present a profound secret, even at Paris, it is evident that no one could imitate him here, or exhibit formed in the same way, or depending on the same optical principles, who was not already fully acquainted with a secret, not, indeed, the same, but similar or tantamount to his.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.75pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;That M. Daguerre’s pictures will stand the effect of time, is, I suppose, the fact, though I do not find it expressly mentioned in the report of M. Arago (&lt;i&gt;Comptes Rendus&lt;/i&gt;, 7th January). My own have stood between three and four years. I therefore consider that the principles of the art are firmly laid.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.75pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;Many instruments have been devised at various times for abridging the labour of the artist in copying natural objects, and for insuring greater accuracy in the design than can be readily attained without such assistance.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.75pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;Among these may be more particularly mentioned, the &lt;i&gt;Camera Obscura&lt;/i&gt; and the &lt;i&gt;Camera Lucida&lt;/i&gt;, which are familiar to most persons; certainly very ingenious and beautiful instruments, and in many circumstances eminently useful, especially the latter. Yet are there many persons who do not succeed in using them, and I believe that few are able to do so with great success, except those who, in other respects, are skilled in drawing.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.75pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;Up to certain point, these inventions are excellent; but beyond that point they do not go. They assist the artist in his work; they do not &lt;i&gt;work for him&lt;/i&gt;. They do not dispense with his time; nor with his skill; nor his attention. All they can do is to guide his eye and correct his judgment; but the actual performance of the drawing must be his own.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.75pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;From&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;all these prior ones, the present invention differs totally in this respect (which may be explained in a single sentence), viz. that, by means of this contrivance, it is not the artist who makes the picture, but the picture which makes &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;ITSELF&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;. All that the artist does is to dispose the apparatus before the object whose image he requires: he then leaves it for a certain time, greater or less, according to circumstances. At the end of the time he returns, takes out his picture, and finds it finished.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.75pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;The agent in this operation is the solar light, which being thrown by a lens upon a sheet of prepared paper, stamps upon it the image of the object, whatever that may chance to be, which is placed before it.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.75pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;The very foundation of the art, therefore, consists in this – eminently curious – natural fact, viz. that there exists a substance so sensitive to light as to be capable of receiving even its faint impressions. The whole possibility of the processdepends upon this; for if no such substance existed in&lt;i&gt; rerum natura&lt;/i&gt;, the notion of thus copying objects would be nothing more than a scientific dream. Moreover, it is not sufficient that the paper should be so sensitive asto receive the impressions of external objects; it is requisite also, that, having &lt;i&gt;received&lt;/i&gt; them, it should &lt;i&gt;retain&lt;/i&gt; them; and moreover, that it should be &lt;i&gt;insensible&lt;/i&gt; with regard to other objects, to which it may be subesqently exposed.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.75pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;The necessity of this is obvious, for otherwise new impressions would be received, which would confuse and efface the former ones.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.75pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;But it is easier to perceive the necessity of the thing required than to attain to its realisation. And this has hitherto proved a most serious obstacle to those who have experimented with this object in view.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.75pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;This was one of the few scientific inquiries in which Sir Humphry Davy engaged, upon which Fortune did not smile.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.75pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;Either his inquiries took a wrong direction, or else, perhaps, the property sought for was of so singular a nature, that there was nothing to guide the search, or perhaps he despaired of it too soon; however this may be, the results undoubtedly was, that the attempt proved unsuccessful, and was abandoned. As Sir Humphry Davy himself informs us, “ No attempts have has yet been successful”.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.75pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;These words are quoted from his own account in the “Journal of the Royal Institution for 1802”.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.75pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;The&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;subject then dropped, and appears to have been no more spoken of for upwards of thirty years.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.75pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;When, in 1834, unaware of Davy’s researches, I undertooka course of experiments with the same object in view, I know not what good star seconded my efforts; but, after various trials, I succeeded in hitting upon a method of obtaining this desideratum. By this process, it is possible to destroy the sensibility of the paper, and to render it quite insensible. After this change it may be exposed with safety to the light of day; it may even be placed in the sunshine: indeed, I have specimens which&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;have been left an hour in the sun without having received apparent deterioration. A fact, therefore,is thus established which is not without its importance in a theorical point of view, besides its more immediate application to purposes of utility.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.75pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;With this kind of paper, eminently susceptible of being acted on by light, and yet capable of losing that property when required, a great number of curious performances may readily be accomplished. The most remarkable of these, is undoubtedly the copying the portrait of a distant object, as the façade of a building, by fixing its image in thr Camera Obscura; but one perhaps more calculated for universal use in the power of depicting exact facsimiles of smaller ojects which are in the vicinity of the operator, suchas flowers, leaves, engravings, &amp;amp;c., which may be accomplished withgreat facility, and often with&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;degree of rapidity that is almost marvellous.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.75pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;The Specimens of this art which I exhibited at the Royal Instituation, though consisting only of what I happened&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;to have with me in Town, are yet sufficient to give a general idea of it, and to show the wide range of its applicability. Among&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;them were pictures of flowers and leaves; a pattern of lace; figures taken from painted glass; a view of Venice copied from an engraving; some images formed by the Solar Microscope, viz. a a slice of wood very highly magnified, exhibiting the pores of two kinds, one set’much smaller than the other, and more numerous. Another Microscopic&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;sketch, exhibiting the reticulations on the wing of an insect.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;Finally: various pictures, representing the architecture of my house in the country; all these made with the Camera Obscura in the summer of 1835.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;And this I believe to be the first instance on record, of a house having painted its own portrait.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;A person unacquainted with the process, if told that nothing of all this was executed by the hand, must imagine that one has at one’s call the Genius of Aladdin’s Lamp. And, indeed, it may almost be said, that this is something of the same kind.

These living pictures, by traversing: the lens and mirrors, are thrown down with double beauty on the table of the camera obscura, by the radiant finger of light. The new “art” has been discovered to fix these wonderful images, which have hitherto passed away volatile – evanescent as a dream – to stop them at our will, on a substance finely sensible to the immediate action of light, and render them permanent before our eyes, in traces represented by tints in perfect harmony on each point, with different degrees of intensity.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;We must not, however, believe, as he has been erroneously reported to the public, with respect to these [Parisian] experiments, that the proper colours of the objects are represented, in these images, by colours they are _______&lt;i&gt;(&lt;a style="mso-endnote-id: edn3" title="" href="#_edn3" name="_ednref3"&gt;&lt;span class="MsoEndnoteReference"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-special-character: footnote"&gt;[iii]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/i&gt;represented with extreme truth, by light, and every gradation of shade;- as an oil-painting is given by a perfect engrav&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language: en-us" lang="EN-US"&gt;ing, consisting &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;of black lines; or, perhaps, more akin to a design made with mathematical accuracy, and in aqua tinta; for there are no crossings of lines in the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language: en-us" lang="EN-US"&gt;designs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt; by the pencil of nature. Red, blue, yellow,&lt;i&gt; green,&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language: en-us" lang="EN-GB"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;are rendered by combinations of light and shade; by demi-tints, more or less clear or obscure, according to the quantity of light in each colour. But in these copies, the delicacy of the design – the purity of the forms – the truth and harmony of tons – the aerial perspective – the high finish of the details, are all expressed with the highest perfection. The formidable lens, which often betrays monstrosities in the most delicate an aerial of our master-pieces, may here search for defects in vain. The creations of nature triumph. Far from betraying any defect, the highest magnifier only trends to show more clearly its vast superiority. At each step, we find new objects to admire, revealing to us the existence of exquisite details, which escape the naked eye, even in reality. Nor can this astonish us when the radiant light, which can only act according to the immutable laws of nature, substitutes its rays for the hesitating pencil of the artist.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;M. Daguerre has represented, from the Pont des Arts, and in a very small space, the whole of the magnificent buildings on the right bank of the Seine, including that part of the Louvre containing the grand gallery of pictures. Each line, each point, is rendered with a perfection quite unattainable by all means hitherto used. He has also reproduced the dark mass of Nôtre Dame, with its immense draperies and Gothic sculptures. He has also taken the view of a building, in the morning at eight o’clock, at mid-day, and at four o’clock in the afternoon, during rain, and in sunshine. Eight or ten minutes at most, in the climate of Paris, is sufficient; but, under a more ardent sun, such as that of Egypt, one minute will suffice. To artists and&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language: en-us" lang="EN-GB"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;savans&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt; who travel, and who often find it impossible to prolong their stay at interesting places, this process must be most welcome.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;The French journals, and reports of proceedings, however, admit that these admirable representations still leave something to be desired as to effect, when regard as works of art. It is singular, they observe, that the power which created them seems to have abandoned them; and that&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language: en-us" lang="EN-GB"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;these works of light want light&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language: en-us" lang="EN-US"&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;Even in those parts the most lighted, there is an absence of vivacity and effect; and it is allowed, that amidst all the harmony of their forms, these views appear subjected to the sober and heavy tone of colour imported by a dull northern sky. It would appear, that by passing through the glasses of the optical arrangement of M. Daguerre, all the views are uniformly clothed with a melancholy aspect, like that given to the horizon by the approach of evening. Motion, it is obvious, can never be copied; and the attempt to represent animals and shoeblacks in action, consequently failed. Statuary is said to have been well defined; but, hitherto, M. Daguerre has not succeeded in copying the living physiognomy in a satisfactory manner, though he does not despair of success.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;It could not have escaped chemists, that various chemical products are sensibly affected by light. Some gases may remain together in the dark, without any effects, but a ray of light will cause instant explosion. Other bodies, such as the chloruret of silver, are modified in colour. It at first takes a violet tint, afterwards becomes black. This property would doubtless, have suggested the idea of applying it to the art of design. But, by this method, the most brilliant parts of the object become discoloured, and the darker parts remain white: this produces an effect contrary to the fact. And again, the continued action of light tends to render the whole dark. Mr. Talbot’s method would seem to be based on the use of the salts of silver, with the addition of some substance, or covering, to prevent the further action of light, after the design was complete.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;This discovery will doubtless make a great revolution in the arts of design; and, in a multitude of cases, will supersede old methods altogether inferior. The temporary interest of many may, at first, be affected; but whatever has the true character of good, cannot essentially do mischief. The invention of printing soon gave employment to many more than were employed as copyists. Even in our own time, the substitution of steel-plates for engraving, instead of copper, although fifty times as many copies may be taken from them, has, by the substitution of good engravings for indifferent ones, so extended the demand, that more steel-plates are now required were formerly used of copper.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;We must add a few words with reference to science. This newly discovered substance, so easily acted upon by the rays of light, opens a wide field for photometric experiments, which hitherto have been hopeless, more particularly on the light of the moon. M. Arago recalls to our attention some experiments made by himself, jointly with other philosophers, by which the light of the moon (300,000 times less than that of the sun), concentrated by the most powerful glasses, gave no indication of chemical action on the chloruret of silver, nor any sign of heat on the most delicate thermometer. We should be glad to know if any experiments have yet been made with the concentrated light of the moon on the thermo-electrical apparatus, which may be constructed of extreme delicacy. The substance used by M. Daguerre is evidently sensible to the action of lunar light, since, in twenty minutes, he can represent under the form of a white spot, the exact image of this luminary.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;M. Biot, who, from the nature of his labours in the fields of science, takes a lively interest in the discovery in question, and anticipates much from the means afforded by it to carry out the analysis of some of the most delicate phenomena of nature. M. Daguerre has, it is asserted already discovered some new properties of light, and is still carrying on the investigation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language: en-us" lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: center; margin-left: 18pt" class="MsoNormal" align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language: en-us" lang="EN-US"&gt;___________________&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: center; margin-left: 18pt" class="MsoNormal" align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language: en-us" lang="EN-US"&gt;ROYAL INSTITUTION&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="border-bottom: windowtext; border-left: medium none; padding-bottom: 0pt; text-indent: 12.7pt; padding-left: 0pt; padding-right: 0pt; border-top: medium none; border-right: medium none; padding-top: 0pt; mso-padding-alt: 0pt 0pt 1.0pt 0pt; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid windowtext 1.5pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;FRIDAY, 25th Jan. – Mr. Woodward “On a new Apparatus for the Public Demonstration of the General Properties and Laws of the Polarization of Light”. After a brief outline of the undulatory theory of light, Mr. Woodward proceeded to exhibit&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;with the old oxy-hydrogen apparatus, fitted with lenses, the splendid&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;phenomena of polarized light, using tourmaline as the analysing plate. The new apparatus (Godar’s) with which he also illustrated nearly the whole phenomena, is of a more simple construction, and much cheaper. The light is polarized by plate glass; for the expensive tourmaline, mica is substituted; and for the lens, a metallic reflector. This arrangement will tend much to make more generally known the beautiful wonders of this important science. At the conclusion of the lecture, Mr. Faraday directed attention to drawings in the library, sent there by H. F. Talbot, F.R.S., and by him named “Photogenic Drawings”. They were of the same character as those of M. Daguerre. The two processes, he observed, of M. Daguerre and of Mr. Talbot, effecting the same objects, may be different, or may be the same. As yet neither is know; and each has been perfected by two scientific experimenters in different countries, without a knowledge of each other’s pursuit. The principal object of the exhibition of the photogenic drawings, on this occasion, was meant (as was understood) to establish a date, in order, that should M. Daguerre’s discovery be made public previously to the reading, before the Royal Society, of Mr. Talbot’s paper detailing his process, no charge of imitation could be brought against Mr. Talbot, in case of identity of process. And that each discovery should be thus proved to be original. No human hand has hitherto traced such lines as these drawings displayed; and what man may hereafter do, now that dame Nature has become his drawing mistress, it is impossible to predict. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="border-bottom: windowtext; border-left: medium none; padding-bottom: 0pt; text-indent: 12.7pt; padding-left: 0pt; padding-right: 0pt; border-top: medium none; border-right: medium none; padding-top: 0pt; mso-padding-alt: 0pt 0pt 1.0pt 0pt; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid windowtext 1.5pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="BodyText21" align="center"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;ROYAL SOCIETY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="BodyText21" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 12.7pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;Mr. LUBROCK in the chair. – A highly interesting paper by Henry Fox Talbot, Esq. was read. It detailed the author’s discovery upwards of five years ago, of the new process of delineating objects. From the first volume of the Journal of the Royal Institution, it appears that the late Mr. Wedgewood had some idea of the discovery; that ingenious gentleman, in conjunction with Sir H. Davy, made many experiments, but they found all their endeavours to obtain success ineffectual: so much so, that is discouraged them, and would have discouraged the author of the present memoir had he read the remarks of Sir H. Davy, contained in the Journal alluded to, prior to the experiments which ultimately led to his invention. At first it consisted in laying the nitrate of silver on paper, and by the means of the camera obscura and the solar ray acting on the paper, a perfect impression is obtained, of any object in half a second; it was found, however, that the image thus obtained, by exposure to the light faded, and after awhile disappeared. By repeated experiments, and the most devoted attention, Mr. Talbot, by what he calls sensitive paper (a great improvement upon that which he originally employed), has overcome this great drawback; pictures he has had in this possession for years are now as vivid as they were when first produced. The image obtained is white, but the ground is beautifully coloured, and readily obtainable, either sky-blue, yellow, rose-colour, or black, - green is excluded; these variations of colour Mr. Talbot considers as so many chemical compounds. Objects the most minute are obtained, - the delicate hairs on the leaves of plants, - the most minute and tiny bivalve calyx, - nay, even a shadow, the emblem of all that is most fleeting in this world, is fettered by the spell of the invention, and remains perfect and permanent long after it has been given back to the sunbeam which produced it; in short, to use Mr. Talbot’s own words, the picture is “ended as soon as begun”. The extend of the value of this invention cannot at present be anticipated; already the author&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;has applied it with perfect success to the copying of sculpture, engravings, hand-writing: and in every case so complete has been the image, that is has been mistaken for the original. The value of it even now to naturalists and others travelling abroad, many of whom are ignorant of drawing, must be immense. Lord Brougham was present, and paid profound attention to Mr. Talbot’s paper.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-ansi-language: en-gb" lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
