The history of art and photography:

history of photography, method of recording the image of an object through the action of light, or related radiation, on a light-sensitive material. The forerunner of the camera was the camera obscura, a dark chamber or room with a hole (later a lens) in one wall, through which images of objects outside the room were projected on the opposite wall. The principle was probably known to the Chinese and to ancient Greeks such as Aristotle more than 2,000 years ago.
