Using the technique of heliography, Joseph Nicéphore Niépce created the first photograph in history that has been preserved to this day: View from the Window at Le Gras, in the summer of 1827.

In May 2018, an image was captured at 149 Rue Saint-Dominique in Paris using a camera mounted on the roof of a Google car, which later served as the basis for my heliograph depicted here.

In September 2024, I photographed a section of this image with a large-format 4×5-inch camera. The resulting photograph was then transferred onto an aluminum plate coated with an asphalt emulsion using sunlight—entirely in keeping with Niépce’s original description of the heliography technique.
