If the camera was a pen and pencil.
"The Pencil of Nature" by Henry Fox Talbot published (1844-46) illustrated with what he described 'the art of photogenic drawings'. Because photography was a new and unknown art technique he found it necessary to explain further what it was: ".. impressed by the agency of Light alone, without any aid whatever from the artist's pencil. They are the sun-pictures themselves.." William Henry Fox Talbot. (His wife Constance calls his cameras "mouse traps”. In a sense the mouses escapes in the early days because of the fading impermanence of the images, a problem he resolved in time.)
