Alphonse Giroux made the first series production of a photographic camera.
He was a relative of Louis Jacques Mandé Daguerre who had improved the photographic methods of Joseph Nicéphore Niépce and his son Isidore Niépce by finding a new basic material, i.e. iodized polished silver-plated copper-plates, a new developing method with mercury vapour, and as fixing method a hot salt water bath. Since that was a total redesign of Niepce's method Isodore Niépce accepted a treaty that the invention should be named after Daguerre. The French government bought it from them. A law given by the French Parliament said that the invention should be given to the world for free.
Daguerre himself designed a solid wooden camera with achromatic lens. Giroux constructed it an made a series of that camera.
