The first known description of pinhole photography is found in the 1856 book ''The Stereoscope'' by Scottish inventor [[David Brewster]], including the description of the idea as "a camera without lenses, and with only a pin-hole".

Sir [[William Crookes]] and [[William de Wiveleslie Abney]] were other early photographers to try the pinhole technique.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://photo.net/learn/pinhole/pinhole|title=Pinhole photography history|website=photo.net|access-date=29 January 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170202201449/http://photo.net/learn/pinhole/pinhole|archive-date=2017-02-02|url-status=dead}}</ref>
