Introduction of Film and the World's First Photograph

Berengar stood in the Kufstein Chemistry Department's main lab, where Aldo von Passau and his team of chemists were eager to introduce their latest invention to the Kaiser. He had been dragged from his home to this building to witness the newest invention. Or should he say prototype to the newest invention. 

As chemists, Aldo von Passau and his team received almost limitless funding in the pursuit of their scholarly objectives. Some of them focused on medicine, while others focused on military products, and others yet pursued their own brilliant ideas. 

There were currently two new inventions sitting on a table in the lab. Berengar recognized them immediately and was surprised that they had been developed. One was a roll of film, and the other was a primitive box camera that utilized the aforementioned film to take pictures.
