Founded in 1974 in Chalon-sur-Saône, the birthplace of the inventor of photography, the Nicéphore Niépce Museum has built up one of the richest and most original photographic collections in Europe over the past twenty-five years. From Nicéphore Niépce's first heliographs to computer-generated images, this collection of two million images tells the many stories of photography in its aesthetic and documentary adventures, as well as in its popular and social uses. The Nicéphore Niépce Museum asked a collective of experts, historians, and philosophers to provide an insight into this collection and freely select significant images from these parallel histories of photography. This work presents more than one hundred and fifty original images, most of them previously unseen, including masterpieces by great masters, but also notable works by anonymous or obscure amateurs, as well as photographic curiosities.
