Today is Louis Daguerre birthday one of the founds of the Daguerreotype.
I thought he was born November 18 (same as me) 1787 (not the same as me)
August 19, 1839 – The French government announces that Louis Daguerre's photographic process is a gift "free to the world".
Yes, today is the anniversary of France's gift f photography to the world. It is also when Daguerre first ggave the details of his process which was very different fromTalbot's who furnished the details of his process months earlier.

If you have an interest in the history of photography, I have a short introduction to its origins on my website: http://spiritsofsilver.com/galleries/salt_print_history
Photography has a rich legacy which will prove rewarding to those who seek it out.
