Biography:
Credited as one of the inventors of photography, William Henry Fox Talbot began experimenting with light-sensitive chemistry in 1834. He kept in close contact with astronomer and photographer Sir John Herschel while developing the medium. In 1839, Talbot announced his invention of photogenic drawing two weeks after the daguerreotype process was unveiled in France. Talbot’s calotype process was introduced in 1840, a process that shortened exposure time and allowed for multiple prints to be made from one negative. Talbot published “The Pencil of Nature” from 1844 to 1846, the first commercially published book to contain photographs as illustrations.
