Step-by-step explanation:

Did you mean why it became invented well. Because photography allowed a glimpse of the past in new and utterly novel ways, it altered the perception of familiar places and things. Suddenly, one could move away from home but preserve a photograph of a birthplace, study the likeness of a dead relative, or see what a parent had looked like as a child.
