Google today celebrates 224th birth anniversary of French artist and physicist Louis Daguerre by posting a doodle on its homepage. Louis Daguerre is famously known for his invention of the daguerreotype process of photography. Daguerreotype is said to be the first successful form of photography.
The Daguerre doodle depicts what appears to be a photograph of family of 19th century, with five of the letters in “Google” replacing the heads, and the “l” depicts as a lamp. The ‘G’ and ‘O’ of the Google logo depicts father and mother, while remaining three letters depict the children. The initial ‘G’ of the doodle resembles Daguerrre. Clicking the doodle will direct you to search result page with ‘Louis Daguerre’ as keyword.
