Nicéphore Niépce

Joseph Nicéphore Niépce (March 7, 1765 – July 5, 1833) was a French inventor, most noted as a pioneer in photography. His surname is often spelled Niepce (without the accent) even in French, and this may in fact be a more correct version. It is also occasionally seen as Nièpce, but this seems to be an error.
