The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Niépce developed heliography, a technique he used to create the world's oldest surviving products of a photographic process.
- In the mid-1820s, he used a primitive camera to produce the oldest surviving photograph of a real-world scene.
- Among Niépce's other inventions was the Pyréolophore, one of the world's first internal combustion engines, which he conceived, created, and developed with his older brother Claude Niépce.

ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 68 and blocks with 69: each hit it takes is cut by 28 %.
