WHAT DOES HELIOGRAPHY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

heliography

Heliography

Heliography is the photographic process invented by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce around 1822, which he used to make the earliest known permanent photograph from nature, View from the Window at Le Gras. The process used Bitumen of Judea, a naturally occurring asphalt, as a coating on glass or metal. It hardened in proportion to its exposure to light. When the plate was washed with oil of lavender, only the hardened areas remained. The word has also been used to refer to other phenomena: for description of the sun, for photography in general, for signalling by heliograph, and for photography of the sun. The abbreviations héliog. or héliogr., found on old reproductions, may stand for the French word héliogravure, and can then refer to any form of photogravure.

Definition of heliography in the English dictionary

The definition of heliography in the dictionary is the use of heliographs to transmit messages. Other definition of heliography is the process of photographing the sun.
