Photography goes back in history to 1826 when the first image was produced by the French scientist Nicephore Niepce. This first picture took about eight long hours to expose, and afterwards, in 1839 the first glass negative appeared. In 1884 George Eastman discovered the film technology which would replace the photographic plates used until then.
In those days all photography was monochrome (black and white) and even after the appearance of color films black and white photos ruled for another several decades because of their low cost. At present monochrome photography remains just an art form and only nostalgics or artists use it. Though color photography started in the 1800s it took about 60 years for the technological advances to allow permanent color pics to be taken, and the first to have succeeded was James Clerk Maxwell in 1861. The first color picture was taken using three color filters that would enable the photographer to recreate a color image in a dark room.
