Description
 
No one could be better qualified than Robert Lassam, Curator of the Fox Talbot Museum, to write about William Henry Fox Talbot. Fwd by Cecil Beaton. A photo album and essay.  The plates are accompanied by short captions and Robert Lassum has provided a bibliography, as well as a valuable introduction to Fox Talbot's life, inventions and attitude to his work.

William Henry Fox Talbot (11 February 1800 – 17 September 1877) was the inventor of the negative / positive photographic process, the precursor to most photographic processes of the 19th and 20th centuries. He was also a noted photographer who made major contributions to the development of photography as an artistic medium. His work in the 1850s on photo-mechanical reproduction led to the creation of the photoglyphic engraving process, the precursor to photogravure. Talbot is also remembered as the holder of a patent which, some say, affected the early development of commercial photography in Britain. Additionally, he made some important early photographs of Oxford, Paris, and York
