Official history Photography wasn't really a scientific endeavor. I find it rather colorful, little tinkerers and big companies mostly in France USA and Britain stealing and trying to one-up each other with the next big thing. They didn't have this conception of this grand scientific method, they certainly didn't document it and not with any academic rigor, not as a rule. But it's just common logic and sense, the "scientific method". Many, like Daguerre, were uneducated tradesmen. It was an endeavor of craft, art and capitalism. They were trying to make money more than anything.

That is correct and many didn't share the formulas that worked
nor did painters for pigments
a lot of knowledge was lost this way to discover the same thing over and over

oh my, look at this

1357 - Shroud of Turin contains what appears to be a sepia negative. Nobody’s sure how it was made or with what technology, but this is technically the earliest example of negative photography in the world.

how could that be??

hhmmm...

care to retract your statement NC?
