View from the Window at Le Gras is the oldest surviving camera photograph. Created by Nicéphore Niépce in 1826 or 1827 at Saint-Loup-de-Varennes, it shows parts of the buildings and surrounding countryside of his estate, Le Gras, seen from a high window, made using a camera obscura. It was the result of an 8-hour exposure.
