First printing of probably the first (the Juillet issue of Annales) official announcement of Daguerre's invention of the photographic process. The paper offered here preceeded the official report in Comptes Rendues which was published at the end of 1839 (in the July-December issue). The first report of on the discovery was presented to the Royal Academy on January 7, 1839 and delivered in full on August 19, 1839 (and printed in the July-Dec. issue of Comptes Rendues). The paper also preceeded Daguerre's own publication of 1839 ""Historique et description du daguerréotypie...""In 1839 Arago took a personal interest in announcing and popularizing the inventions of Niepce and Daguerre, who were awarded government pensions as a result of Arago’s recognition of their inventions’ potential significance.""In 1829 Daguerre went into partnership with Niepce, who had managed to produce images by the action of light some three years earlier but had failed to make the process really practical. Daguerre carried on and began to use copper plates on which silver salts were deposited. ight was made to focus upon that and an image was formed. The light portions of the image darkened the salts, while the shadowy portions left them unaffected. The unchanged salt was dissolved away by sodium thiosulfate (a process that had been suggested by John Herschel and a permanent image of sorts was left behind.""(Asimov).Together with JEAN CHARLES PELTIER ""Mémoire sur la Formation des Tables des Rapports qu'il y entre la Force d'un Courant électrique et la Déviation des aiguilles des multiplicateurs"" suivi de Recherches sur la Causes de Pertubation des couples thermo-électriques..."", pp. 225-313.

""When the attempt to exploit the process of daguerreotype was unsuccessfull, Daguerre and Nièpce decided to offer their method to the government. Daguerre approached Francois Jean Arago, to whom he imparted, under the seal of secrecy his processes and those of Nicéphore Niépce. It was fortunate that Arago possessed such a great insight into the invention, which he received enthusiastically. He reported the invention of the daguerretype to the Academy of Sciences on January 7, 1839. The secrecy, however, was not observed very carefully, for the ""Gazette de France"" published a note abouit it on January 6, 1839, although without printing any details.""(Eder ""History of Photography"").

A propos de de dessins intéressants qu’il rapporte d’une « petite tournée pour le moyen-âge archéologique en Champagne, Picardie et Normandie » qu’il vient de faire. « Je rapporte quelques croquis étudiés qui ne sont pas sans intérêt, je crois donc le rapport archéologique. J’avais et j’ai encore le dessein de vous les montrer mais je ne sais plus quels jours et à quelle heure il se peut qu’on aille chez vous avec certitude de vous trouver, et d’ailleurs, ne serait-ce pas abuser des moments que vous consacrez aux artistes ? […]… ce sera pour moi l’occasion de vous demander quand et comment vous désirez que je m’acquitte envers vous car je vous dois bien des abonnements et je ne vous ai encore fait que deux dessins. ».
