Niepce died young and left records, he is the exception to prove the rule
I just think the Eastman Kodak brownie is the most incredible leap in technology history. We had a Polaroid in the 1880s? Are you kidding me? Do you understand we spent decades experimenting with different formulas and plates, this one is a little crisper but worse coloration, this one requires less exposure time etc but it was all large separate pieces of equipment with plates and chemicals, and then boom we instantly get at least three major innovations all in one:
1) first use of film (worked wonderfully and Edison and the Frenchies would use Eastman's film to invent movies a few years later)
2) first self-contained portable consumer-use camera
3) first self printing camera
How was this all came upon suddenly, no slow transition to any of these along the way? No intermediate products from anywhere. shite is wild. Wouldn't Eastman Kodak's crack team of scientists have innovated these things separately and wouldn't the boss have wanted to show off their incremental innovations along the way? It's like going to the moon while the Wright Brothers are still figuring it out
How insane is it that the miniaturized automatic development dark room was invented before the actual dark room?

you are exactly right. look not at the item, but the development of it. when it's suddenly "tada" is not. Old tech released/brought back
many "inventors were, I believe, given broken artifacts and relics and told, make this
some, like tesla, were the exception.
westinghouse, edison, not inventors, only repaired/improved things destroyed in the reset of 1500-1300 that were uncovered
eastman kodak the same thing
probably stole it too
