Greece was not involved in the research and experimentation that went into the development of photography. This was mostly dome in France and Britain and subsequently the United States and later Germany. The first successful photographic process was invented by Louis Daguerre in France (1839). Mostly French photograpgers brought the techbimigy to Greece (1840s). Pierre Gustave Joly de Lotbiniere (1798–1865, Canadian) and Joseph-Philibert Girault de Prangey (1804–1892, French) were among the first such individuals to open studios in Greece (1840s). Philibert Perraud (1815-1863, French), came to Greece and taught photography to Filippos Margaritis (Greek painter). He is this bekkieved to be first Greek photographer. He ooened a Daguerreotype studio in (1853). Soon there were akso tun-tyoe and anbrotypr studios. . Oetros Moraites opened his photo studio in Athens with Athanasios Kalfas (1859). They became the leading Athens studio, photographing the Royal family and other luninaris (1870s) As in other countriesm the ambrotype came to dominate photograohy for several decades, meaning CDVs and cabinet cards. It is at this time that several Grrrl photographers began setting up studios in the Middle East. One spirce reports that there ere 21 studios in Greece (1891). Most American cities of any size had more than that amount. At the rurn of the 20th century, the Kodak Bownie revolutiomized photograpy making the snapshot possible (1900). This brought the snapshot out of the photpgaphic studio. Many of these various photographic prints were undated, but the characteistics of the cards and prints can help date the photograph.
