	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)
		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.

	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 Henry Fox Talbot was born on 11 February 1800 at Melbury, Dorset, the only child of William Davenport Talbot (1764-1800) of Lacock Abbey and Elisabeth Theresa (1773-1846), daughter of the 2nd Earl of Ilchester.
		Talbot was only five months old when his father died and his mother was faced with an estate in ruinous condition.
		While Talbot's terms for the calotype patent were generous, it undoubtedly limited the spread of photography on paper in the 1840s, at a time when resentment against patents in general was widespread.

	Masters of Photography: William Henry Fox Talbot
		William Henry Fox Talbot, scholar, scientist, and photographic pioneer, was the discoverer of the negative-positive process of photography in the late 1830s.
		Talbot's distinguished career in science began when he was elected to the Royal Astronomical Society while a student of classics and mathematics at Trinity College in Cambridge, where he received his M.A. degree in 1825.
		Talbot's discoveries may be said to have surpassed Daguerre's because the negative-positive process permitted the duplication of prints from a single negative, while daguerreotypes were unique direct-positive images on metal plates.

		Talbot was in pursuit of a world seen photographically, and everything offered itself to the mechanical gaze, from a pea plant to a tea party at Lacock Abbey to the Royal Pavilion in Brighton.
		Talbot's images presage those of Stieglitz, Steichen, Kasebier, Emerson, Curtis, Sander, Hine and others born in Talbot's lifetime, not to mention a host of present-day artists, including photo-abstractionist Ellen Carey, Abelardo Morrell, Gabor Kerekes and Dan Estabrook, who are borrowing consciously from his mother lode of imagery.
		Talbot also pioneered the use of flash, instant photography and the photogravure print, and attempted to secure his place in history by patenting the very idea of photography and suing anyone who threatened his priority.

		He gave the name "negative" to the inverted image that Talbot was producing on his paper covered with suitably chosen chemicals, and "fixing" to the process that Talbot perfected of treating the paper with further chemicals to prevent further action by light.
		Talbot was able to find a way to print back his negatives onto sensitive paper giving a correct representation of the scene pictured.
		Talbot quickly moved to publicise his own work sending examples of his photographs to the Royal Institution in London less than a week after he heard of the French announcement, and he wrote to Arago claiming priority a couple of days later.

		In each, Talbot enclosed examples of his new art: first, photogenic drawings made by placing objects on top of photosensitized paper and exposing them to sunlight (what we would today call photograms), and later, photogenic drawings printed from negatives made in a camera obscura (what we have come to call photographs).
		Talbot suggested in one of his letters to Bertoloni that naturalists would find the accurate recording of botanical specimens to be among the most important uses of his invention, especially when the photogenic drawings were made through a solar microscope.
		Talbot also sent photogenic drawings made from direct contact with a printed picture, a gauzy piece of fabric, and a section of lace.

	deborah garwood on william henry fox at ICP, susan derges at paul kasmin
		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.
		Imagine this: Fox Talbot is setting the table for tea in the cloister, calibrating a series of test exposures on a balmy morning in June while, over on the continent, the boulevard theaters of Paris sweep up after a rowdy night of Revolutionary rhetoric and tear-jerker, supernatural-themed melodrames.

		Talbot's negative-positive process was a major factor in the decline of the daguerreotype--which was a one-shot, like a Polaroid.
		Talbot's first photographs, which the English experimenter called photogenic drawings, were direct positives, followed around 1840 by a chemically developed negative from which multiple positives, called calotypes or Talbotypes, could be produced.
		Talbot conducted his experiments at his family seat, Lacock Abbey, the setting for some of his finest views, including The Haystack and The Open Door from his breakthrough album, The Pencil of Nature (1844-46).
