Thomas Wedgwood was born on 14 May, 1771

Regarded by some as the world’s first photographer, Thomas was the son of the famous potter Josiah Wedgwood. He is known for coming up with the idea of creating permanent pictures by capturing images from a camera on materials coated with light-sensitive chemicals.
