A Moment in Photographic History:
French photographer Jules Itier, after developing for nine months, was born April 8, 1802. He learned the Daguerreotype process soon after its announcement in 1839. He traveled to Senegal and Guiana in Africa and Guadaloupe in the West Indies in 1842-1843. In 1844 Itier headed a mission to China and took what are thought to be the earliest images of Macao and Canton.
A Photographic Quote of Note:
