In 1795, Nicolas Jacques Conté discovered a method of mixing powdered graphite with clay and forming the mixture into rods that were then fired in a kiln. By varying the ratio of graphite to clay, the hardness of the graphite rod could also be varied. This method of manufacturing pencil lead, which had been earlier discovered by the Austrian Joseph Hardtmuth of Koh-I-Noor in 1790, remains in use.

Pretty sure at a visit to Independence Hall, I learned the delegates to the Constitutional Convention sat for rudimentary photographs during their breaks. They could only produce silhouettes, however, instead of full-detail pictures. Can't remember what the process was called.
