Literature Project #31 Online OED 'Photography'.

31 days into my year long daily Literature project. The first known use of the word "photography" according to the Oxford English Dictionary (Online version).

"[1839
Paper smeared with the solution [of lunar caustic] is darkened... Hence the process of photogenic drawing [as published in May, in Edinb. New Philos. Jrnl. 27 145, altered to Hence the art of Photography].
A. Fyfe in Proceedings Scot. Society of Arts 27 March 419Citation details for A. Fyfe in Proceedings Scot. Society of Arts]"

Oxford English Dictionary, s.v. “photography (n.),” July 2023, https://doi.org/10.1093/OED/8856914037.
