Consider Daguerre's Le Boulevard du Temple. Discuss the reason that this image is important to the history of photography and the difficulties inherent in the production of this image

What will be an ideal response?

Daguerre made a breakthrough recording an image that was clear and sharp, a significant improvement to the captured image of Niépce, which involved a long exposure time and resulting fuzzy appearance. Daguerre's Le Boulevard du Temple was displayed the year the French government announced Daguerre's discovery. Although the exposure time was less that the previous process, the 10-to-20-minute exposure time didn't record the moving traffic on the busy boulevard. However, the figure in the lower left was motionless long enough to have his image captured.
