His interests in chemistry, physics and astronomy played an important role in the development of these Sciences. And he was fond of photography, and if he focused on this lesson, then, of course, would have created a photo to a quarter of a century before Talbot and Daguerre. Today pictures of him — a true historical value and opportunity to look into the past.
