The Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center at the University of
Texas at Austin and the GCI are organizing an international symposium
on research related to View from the Window at Le Gras (1826)—the
world's first photograph—and the work of its creator,
Joseph Nicéphore Niépce, to be held at the Ransom
Center, November 20-23, 2003.
The symposium—"At First Light: Niépce and the
Dawn of Photography"—will include presentations of unpublished
results from the first in-depth scientific examination of the first
photo (see Conservation,
vol. 17, no. 2). A number of new research initiatives and ongoing
research projects related to the photograph will also be considered.
In addition, there will be discussions of the latest historical
and art historical research focused on the beginnings of photography.
For further information or to register for the symposium, please
