William Henry Fox Talbot was a polymath, perhaps best known as one of the founding father’s of photography, alongside Johann Heinrich Schulze (1717), Thomas Wedgwood (circa 1800), Nicéphore Niépce (circa 1820), and Louis Daguerre (1839). Talbot’s
salted paper photographic process was the result of experiments he had begun in 1834. However, it was not until a few months after Daguerre’s announcement (made without revealing any useful details) of his
daguerrotype process in early January 1839, that Fox Talbot announced details of his process to the Royal Institution on 25 January 1839.
