bandh: This Week in Photography History: Death of Hippolyte Bayard on May 14, 1887, a French pioneer of photography. He is credited with presenting the first public photography show and with the idea of combining two exposures for landscape photography, one for sky and the other for land, now known as High Dynamic Range photography. He also created the first controversy in photography and the first staged photograph. After claiming that he had been tricked to allow Daguerre to claim the crown of photography’s inventor, he passed around this photo of himself with a note on the back, saying: “The corpse which you see here is that of M. Bayard…the Government which has been only too generous to Monsieur Daguerre, has said it can do nothing for Monsieur Bayard, and the poor wretch has drowned himself.”
