Notes

Janine Nièpce was born on February 12, 1921 in Meudon, outside Paris, to a family involved in the Burgundy wine trade. Her family is linked to the inventor of photography, Nicephore Niépce. She studied art and archaeology at the Sorbonne. She was given the Chevalier for Arts and Letters in 1981 and the French Legion of Honor in 1985. Over 20 books were published on her photographic work. In 1955 she took Henri Cartier-Bresson's advice and joined the photo agency Rapho. Nièpce's work often focused on the history and struggles of women worldwide. She was considered one of France's top living female photographers. Nièpce passed away on August 5, 2007. Chalon-sur-Saône lies in the south of the Burgundy region of France. It is located on the Saône river, and was once a busy port, acting as a distribution point for local wines which were sent up and down the Saône river and the Canal du Centre. Chalon is best known as the birthplace of photography. Its most famous resident was Nicéphore Nièpce.
