11. A History Of Photography, By Robert Leggat: TALBOT, William Henry Fox Detailed biography from A History of Photography, by Robert Leggat. http://www.rleggat.com/photohistory/history/talbot.htm

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:

13. Body Thorough biography by Steven Loomis. http://www.monkey.sbay.org/~srl/papers/phtg/talbot.html

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.

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

The Project The Letters WHF Talbot 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 Born: 11 Feb 1800 in Melbury Abbas, Dorset, England Died: 17 Sept 1877 in Lacock Abbey (near Chippenham), Whiltshire, England Click the picture above to see three larger pictures Show birthplace location Previous (Chronologically) Next Biographies Index Previous (Alphabetically) Next Main index Version for printing Henry Fox Talbot is usually known today under this version of his name. However, he greatly disliked this version and always made it known that he wished to be Henry F Talbot or H F Talbot. We shall at least go some way towards his wishes and refer to him as Talbot (or Henry) throughout this article. Henry's father was William Davenport Talbot and his mother was Elisabeth Theresa Fox-Strangways. Davenport Talbot owned Lacock Abbey in Wiltshire which had been in the possession of the Talbot family since the 1500s but this only happened because two husbands took their wife's name of Talbot to keep the Talbot family name from dying out. Lady Elisabeth Fox-Strangways was the eldest child of Henry Thomas Fox-Strangways, second earl of Ilchester, and was from a family which moved in the highest political circles. Given the status of the families one might expect Henry to be born into a wealthy but, on the contrary, when he was born, Lacock Abbey was 30,000 in debt, this being a substantial sum in those times. Financial problems was not the only difficulty the family had, for Davenport Talbot died was Henry was only five months old leaving Lady Elisabeth in a somewhat tricky situation. Henry's mother was a rather remarkable woman, however, being highly intelligent and very well educated. She was very interested in politics and fluent in French, Latin, and Greek. Her skilful management of the Lacock Abbey estate would mean that Henry would eventually face no financial problems.

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.
