Wasn't miniaturisation of photos used to get airmail out of the Paris commune in 1871? So less than 20 years after this.

So is it possible we can trace the manufacture of microchip lithography to this? We've been able to minaturize things for some time using light.

    Yes. Many of the principles are the same. And photilithography had uses before semiconductors.
