Claude Niépce
18/19th-century French inventor / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Claude Félix Abel Niépce (1764–1828) was a French inventor and the older brother of the more celebrated Nicéphore Niépce. Claude traveled to England to try to find a sponsor for their internal combustion engine and died there. His brother's later successful development of photography has eclipsed the part played by Claude.[1]
