The Photographic Art of William Henry Fox Talbot

William Henry Fox Talbot (1800-1877)

Synopsis

The book "The Photographic Art of William Henry Fox Talbot" showcases the evolution of Talbot's artistic vision alongside his technical breakthroughs in photography. Larry Schaaf curates one hundred high-quality photograph reproductions, tracing Talbot’s journey from early botanical photograms and Lilliputian negatives to mid-1840s calotypes. The images, presented in their original size and colors, demonstrate Talbot's transition from visual documentation to pioneering modern photography. Accompanied by excerpts from Talbot’s and his contemporaries' writings, the book illuminates the roots of photography and celebrates Talbot's lasting impact. Released on his 200th birth anniversary, it serves as a vital archive of early photographic art.
