	A History of Photography, by Robert Leggat: TALBOT, William Henry Fox
		Talbot studied the classics and mathematics at Cambridge, was elected a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society in 1822, and a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1832.
		Talbot attempted to draw with the aid of both a camera obscura and a camera lucida when producing his sketches, one of which was Villa Melzi.
		Talbot chose not to extend his patent to Scotland, and this paved the way for some outstanding photographs to be produced in Edinburgh by Hill and Adamson.

	William Fox Talbot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		William Henry Fox Talbot (February 11, 1800 - September 17, 1877) was one of the first photographers and made major contributions to the photographic process.
		Talbot was the only child of William Davenport Talbot, of Lacock Abbey, Wiltshire, and of Lady Elizabeth Fox Strangways, daughter of the 2nd earl of Ilchester.
		Talbot's original contributions included the concept of a negative from which many positive prints can be made (although the terms negative and positive were coined by Herschel), and the use of gallic acid for developing latent image.

	William Henry Fox Talbot (1800-1877) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		William Henry Fox Talbot, chemist, linguist, archaeologist, and pioneer photographer was born in Melbury Abbas, Dorset, on February 11, 1800.
		Talbot's calotypes involved the use of a photographic negative, from which multiple prints could be made; had his method been announced but a few weeks earlier, he and not Daguerre would probably have been known as the founder of photography.
		Talbot's method of fixing the print by washing it in a strong solution of sodium chloride was inadequate, and the process was not successful until February 1839, when Herschel suggested fixing the negatives with sodium hyposulphite.

		Talbot made the earliest known surviving photographic negative on paper in the late summer of 1835, a small photogenic drawing of the oriel window of the south gallery of his home, Lacock Abbey.
		Talbot's findings were read to a meeting of the Royal Society on 31st January 1839 and this was one of the first official announcements of the birth of photography.
		The interests of William Henry Fox Talbot were not confined to photography and, after showing his academic brilliance at an early age, he continued throughout his life studies in various subjects such as mathematics, chemistry, classics, philosophy, botany, assyriology and archaeology.

		William Henry Fox Talbot was born in England in 1800, and after his death in 1877 he was known as the "Father of Photography." A scientist and inventor, Talbot invented the negative-positive photographic paper process.
		Talbot's scientific interests in botany and the natural phenomena of the world led to the first "photogenic drawings" or photograms as they are referred to today.
		J.P. Ward states, "For Talbot photography was a manifestation of the wonders of nature, as well as a working tool and a unique recording system." Talbot's accomplishments greatly influenced the future of photography as a scientific and artistic tool.

	William Fox Talbot Summary
		William Henry Fox Talbot, the son of an army officer, received his master's degree from Cambridge University in 1825.
		Talbot called these images calotypes, from the Greek for "beautiful." This method of converting a negative to a positive is the basis for modern photography, and for this reason Talbot is considered (along with Joseph-Nicéphore Niépce) to be one of the two founders of photography.
		Talbot's behavior was widely criticized, especially after 1851 when Frederick Scott Archer publicized the collodion process he had invented.

		This was a portable instrument which used a small prism to project an image of a scene on to a piece of paper., He began to consider the agencies of optics, light and chemistry in an attempt to capture the elusive view.
		Talbot's initial answer was to fix his prints in a strong solution of common salt which rendered them insensitive to light.

		Meanwhile, the idea of photography came to William Henry Fox Talbot (1800-1877) whilst on holiday at Lake Como in Italy, using the Camera obscura and the Camera Lucida as aids to drawing.
		Talbot reflected: ‘on the immutable beauty of the pictures of nature's painting which the glass lens of the camera throws on the paper in its focus...fairy pictures, creations of a moment and destined as rapidly to fade away.
		Talbot's photographic experiments culminated in his greatest achievement when he made the crucial discovery: the development of the latent negative photographic image.

		The International Center of Photography's presentation of Fox Talbot as Victorian humanist, scientist, and artist might be understood as part of a significant effort ICP has made in recent years to reorient its institutional charter, originally based upon Cornell Capra's photo-journalist mission, to be more inclusive of photography's complex role in visual world culture.
		Fox Talbot, in search of a name for his process, first called it 'photogenic drawing'; later he settled on calotype, a term he derived from the Greek word 'kalos' for beautiful.
