Google's Louis Daguerre doodle. Photograph: GoogleInventor Louis Daguerre, who created the world's first commercially successful way of capturing permanent photographs, has been celebrated with a Google doodle marking his 224th birthday.
The French physicist is credited for developing the daguerreotype photographic process which enabled images from a camera to be captured on a silver-coated copper plate.
He experimented with earlier processes which were able to capture images but would subsequently fade in order to create an effective method of producing permanent images.
