Film negatives began to be used in the mid-19th century, with the introduction of photographic processes. The first successful permanent photograph, created by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce in 1826 or 1827, utilized a bitumen-coated plate rather than film. However, the development of flexible film negatives came with George Eastman's introduction of roll film in the late 1880s, which revolutionized photography by making it more accessible to the general public. This innovation paved the way for the widespread use of film negatives in photography.
