Photography
Term
used
to
describe
the
technique
of
producing
an
image
by
the
action
of
light
on
a
chemically
prepared
material.
Although
used
privately
as
early
as
1833,
it
was
not
until
the
public
discussion
of
the
first
processes
in
1839
that
the
term
popularly
attributed
to
Sir
John
Herschel
came
to
be
used
in
its
present
general
sense.
