Heliography is the oldest known photographic process. Developed by the French inventor Joseph Nicéphore Niépce in the early 19th century, it forms the basis of the world’s first permanently preserved photograph. Those asking “What is heliography?” will find the answer in its etymology: the term derives from the Greek and means “drawing with the sun.”
