Louis Jacques Mandé Daguerre (1787-1851) was a pioneering French artist and physicist, best known for his invention of the daguerreotype, an early form of photography. Born on November 18, 1787, in Cormeilles-en-Parisis, France, Daguerre initially pursued a career in the arts, working as a scene painter for the opera and developing a keen interest in the effects of light and illusion. His fascination with capturing images led him to experiment with various photographic processes.

In collaboration with Nicéphore Niépce, another photography pioneer, Daguerre refined the process of capturing images on a light-sensitive surface. After Niépce's death in 1833, Daguerre continued to develop the process, eventually creating the daguerreotype in 1839. This method involved exposing a silver-plated copper sheet to iodine vapor, creating a light-sensitive surface. The plate was then exposed to light, developed with mercury vapor, and fixed with a solution of common salt. The resulting image was a highly detailed, one-of-a-kind photograph that could not be reproduced.

Daguerre's invention was a significant breakthrough in the field of photography, as it allowed for the creation of permanent images with unprecedented clarity and detail. The daguerreotype quickly gained popularity and became the first commercially successful photographic process. Daguerre's contributions to photography earned him international acclaim, and he was awarded a lifetime pension by the French government in recognition of his achievements.

Henri Grevedon, a contemporary of Daguerre, was a notable French lithographer and portrait artist. While there is no specific information available about a work titled "Louis Jacques Mandé Daguerre 1787-1851" by Henri Grevedon, it is plausible that Grevedon, known for his detailed and expressive portraits, may have created a likeness of Daguerre, given the latter's prominence in the art and scientific communities of the time.

Daguerre's legacy endures, as his invention laid the groundwork for the development of modern photography. His work not only revolutionized the way images were captured and preserved but also had a profound impact on art, science, and society as a whole.
