In April 1837, Daguerre told Isidore Niépce his equipment for taking daguerreotypes was ready, needing only good weather.
In April 1837, Daguerre remarked to Isidore Niépce that his equipment for taking daguerreotypes was ready, and that the only thing he needed was good weather. The passage records the remark and its date but does not state where it was made, so no occurrence locality can be fixed for it. This correspondence is the clearest dated evidence that a working apparatus existed before the 1839 public announcement, though it does not itself describe the technical steps of the process.
