**What's wrong with Daguerre?** Following the introduction of the daguerreotype process in 1839, Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre was initially regarded as the principal inventor of photography. It was not long, however, before the legitimacy of this title fell under dispute. Other inventors, including Joseph-Nicéphore Niépce and William Henry Fox Talbot most notably, were seen as possible rivals. This debate about the rightful claimant, otherwise known as the 'priority debate', has remained an important issue for many photohistorians ever since. Although Daguerre always plays a role in publications discussing the advent of photography, he is not always treated favourably. His reputation has become damaged over time as, intentionally or not, photohistorians fall back on clichéd arguments and generalisations. Daguerre's rivals, including Niépce, Talbot, and Hippolyte Bayard, are at times *pushed* by photohistorians, many of whom rely on various pieces of evidence to strengthen their cases, like lawyers in a courtroom drama. *What's wrong with Daguerre?* shows that wishful thinking and preconceptions, national pride and commercial attitudes play a significant role in photohistoric writing. Although the inventors are long gone and their processes have long since been eclipsed by modern techniques, the old rivalry between them continues. *What's wrong with Daguerre?* explores the reasons why Daguerre and the daguerreotype are often *devalued*, and analyses why advocacy on behalf of Talbot and his calotype process has been so successful.

Le 7 janvier 1839, le physicien François Arago, lors d'une séance de l'Académie des sciences de Paris, présente un nouveau procédé permettant de reproduire de manière mécanique et chimique, sans intervention manuelle, les images qui se forment dans la chambre obscure: le daguerréotype, marquant ainsi la naissance officielle de la photographie. Image uniqe, sur plaque de cuivre recouverte d'argent, aux reflets changeants, polie, et souvent réfléchissante comme un miroir, l'invention de Daguerre devait définitivement modifier le regard posé sur le monde et ses représentations, artistiques comme scientifiques. C'est bien cet "art nouveau au milieu d'une vieille civilisation", selon le propres termes du savant Gay-Lussac en 1839, que l'exposition et cet ouvrage entendent faire découvrir en s'attachant à la production française, dans toute sa diversité.
