William Henry Fox Talbot P hilosopher, classicist, Egyptologist, mathematician, philologist, transcriber and translator of Syrian and Chaldean cuneiform texts, physicist, and photographer. The work that he did between 1834 and 1850 established in principle and practise the foundation of modern photography; the basis of the process that is used today. All texts and images printed in books, magazines, newspapers and journals or on posters are transformed and translated through the negative/positive photographic process, whether or not finally printed lithographically or by photogravure. In addition, all printed circuit boards found in modern computers are miniaturised by photographic reduction and their production uses a process known as photo-polymerisation to etch all the minute tracks and contacts that form the basic motherboards at the heart of all digital electronic systems. The origin of photo-polymerisation can be seen in the early researches of Talbot. Between 1845 and 1860, he discovered the unique property of potassium dichromate to directly harden colloidal gelatine in proportion to the amount of light to which it is exposed. Meanwhile, the idea of photography came to

TALBOT, William Henry Fox b. 11 February 1800; d. 17 September 1877 His signature is Henry Talbot, and though he is said to have disliked being called Fox Talbot, that name has stuck. Though Fox Talbot was not the first to produce photographs, he made a major contribution to the photographic process as we know it today. 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. He was also an MP, Biblical scholar, a Botanist and Assyriologist, making a contribution to the deciphering of cuneiform inscriptions brought to England from Nineveh. Though some of his pictures show a measure of artistic taste, it was his inability to draw which caused him to experiment with a mechanical method of capturing and retaining an image. 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. Later he wrote:

William Henry Fox Talbot Steven R. Loomis for Phtg 20, W. Q. Castano June 11, 1998 W. H. F. Talbot can not be said to have invented photography, but he was certainly an important figure in the history of this new art. Many inventions are the product of generations of research. Among his many other innovations, Talbot gave us the negative-positive method that is used today, and also worked to popularize photography. His work in photography does not tell the entire story of this colorful and interesting character. When Talbot was born in 1800, his name and estate already had quite a bit of prestige associated with it. Lacock Abbey was built in 1232 by a Countess, the half sister-in-law to the King. It was converted into a private home and the Talbot family married into it in the 1500's. The Talbots were close to kings and other high ranking people. The last direct male line ended in 1714, but twice before WHF Talbot's birth, a husband had assumed the Talbot name from his wife to carry on the name (and the estate). The Fox-Strangway were even closer to high politics. Lady Elisabeth Theresa Fox-Strangways, Talbot's mother, was a very intelligent woman whose interests included linguistics and politics. She definitely had a tremendous influence on Talbot, who inherited her love of learning and of these subjects, and she stayed close to him her entire life. He often wrote her in French, Latin, and Greek.

by Joan Harrison In the 1830's in England, William Henry Fox Talbot was inspired to "invent" photography by his lack of success as an artist using the camera obscura. He dreamed of capturing the projected "fairy" pictures and developed a process whereby silver salts were coated on paper, exposed to light and the resulting image fixed as if drawn by "the pencil of nature". Talbot's oldest surviving image made with a camera was of the Oriel window at his family estate, Laycock Abbey. This negative created in 1835 predates the historically recorded "birth" of photography by four years. Before this time there were no photographic prints and until the turn of the twentieth Century there was no means of photo-mechanical reproduction. Think about how you are seeing Fox Talbot's image now; a reproduction of a reproduction of a reproduction of a reproduction transmitted as a virtual image over the internet. Fox Talbot's original image is in the Science Museum of London. You can see the Oriel Window and the birthplace of paper based photography by visiting Laycock Abbey and the Fox Talbot Museum in Wiltshire, England.

Explore Art Home Artists William Henry Fox Talbot Born 1800, Died 1877 Photographer In 1833, after failed attempts at drawing using the camera lucida , an optical tool, William Henry Fox Talbot wrote: "[H]ow charming it would be if it were possible to cause these natural images to imprint themselves durably, and remain fixed upon the paper!" Talbot, a scientist, mathematician, and author, is credited with being one of the inventors of photography. In mid-1834 he began to experiment with light-sensitive chemistry, corresponding with the preeminent astronomer and scientist Sir John Herschel about their mutual photographic discoveries. By 1835 Talbot had placed his photographic investigations on hold to pursue other interests. Not wanting to be outdone, however, Talbot announced his invention of the photogenic drawing in January 1839, two weeks after Louis-Jacques Mandé Daguerre's daguerreotype process was introduced in France. Talbot's negative/positive process, the calotype , was introduced in 1840. His invention, which shortened exposure times and allowed multiple prints to be made from a single negative, became the basis for photography as it is practiced today.

WOLLEH Text from The Encyclopedia of Photography Talbot, William Henry Fox British 1800-1877 William Henry Fox Talbot, scholar, scientist, and photographic pioneer, was the discoverer of the negative-positive process of photography in the late 1830s. He was also the author and publisher of the first book to use photographs as illustrations. Talbot's earliest experiments led to "photogenic drawings" made by placing objects on paper sensitized with silver chloride and exposing them to the light. By 1841 Talbot had invented and patented the calotype process. He was among the few early practitioners who foresaw the wide range of uses of photography. 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. In 1832 he became a Fellow of the Royal Society, a group of British scientists, on the basis of a series of mathematical papers. He served in Parliament in 1833-1834. In 1843 Talbot started the first printing house for the mass-production of photographic prints. The following year he published

The Project WHF Talbot The Letters Resources ... Talbot's Publications WHF Talbot: Biography Education Invention Calotype Printer's Ink ... Archives Education Although reclusive by nature, Talbot was a brilliant student. His mother was his primary tutor, and her facility with foreign languages clearly stimulated Talbot's later philological and translation work. Intense interest in botanical studies and gardening throughout Lady Elisabeth's family inspired Talbot's lifelong involvement in botany. He was accepted at Harrow School in 1811 and entered Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1817, becoming a Scholar in 1819. In 1820 he won the Porson University Prize in Greek verse. In 1821, he became twelfth Wrangler and won the second Chancellor's Classical Medal before securing his B.A. Talbot proceeded M.A. in 1825. On 20 December 1832, he married Constance Mundy (1811-1880) of Markeaton in Derbyshire. Almost simultaneously, he was elected to Whig (reformist) Parliament as the reform candidate for Chippenham. By the time he met John (later Sir John) Herschel in Munich in 1824, Talbot had already published six papers in mathematics. This chance meeting established a friendship and a scientific collaboration crucial to Talbot's later success and probably influenced Talbot's turn towards research into light and optical phenomena. In 1826, Herschel introduced him to Dr. David Brewster, the important Scottish scientist and encyclopedist. Brewster and Talbot's researches on light frequently overlapped. Brewster began publishing Talbot's scientific articles in his journal and the two men forged an unusually close and lifelong friendship. This is fully reflected in their correspondence.

William Henry Fox Talbot (1800 - 1877) While Fox Talbot did not invent photography, he discovered the process that has underpinned most photography for the last 160 years. On honeymoon at Lake Como in 1833, he was trying to sketch the scenery there. His lack of success led him to dream up a new machine with light-sensitive paper that would make the sketches for him automatically. He began work on this upon his return home. Fox Talbot went on to develop the three primary elements of photography: developing, fixing, and printing. Although simply exposing photographic paper to the light produced an image, it required extremely long exposure times. By accident, he discovered that there was an image after a very short exposure. Although he could not see it, he found he could chemically develop it into a useful negative. The image on this negative was then fixed by washing with salt solution and hypo. This removed the light-sensitive silver and enabled the picture to be viewed in bright light. With the negative image, Fox Talbot realised he could repeat the process of printing from the negative. Consequently, his process could make any number of positive prints, unlike the Daguerreotypes. He patented his process in 1841, and the following year was rewarded with a medal from the Royal Society for his work. Fox Talbot was also an eminent mathematician, a competent astronomer, and a translator of the cuneiform inscriptions from Nineveh. He patented a variety of machines, including internal combustion engines, and in 1851 is thought to have taken the world's first photograph with a high-speed flash.

For this work he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1831. In addition to his mathematical work, Talbot also published on astronomy and physics. He gave the Bakerian lecture to the Royal Society in 1837 with the title Further observations on the optical phenomena of crystals and he received the Royal Medal from the Royal Society in 1838. In 1833 Talbot was elected to parliament but retired one year later. He was a close friend of John Herschel and together they studied light. An interest in chemistry, together with his interest in light, took him into photography and he is best remembered for his pioneering work in this area. In 1844 he published Pencil of nature the first photographically illustrated book. He was also interested in archaeology and was one of the first to translate the cuneiform writing from Nineveh.
