Letters of William Henry Fox Talbot – History Of Photography

Talbot is best known as the scientist and artist whose role was critical to the invention of the art of photography.

The Correspondence of William Henry Fox Talbot Project has prepared a comprehensive edition of the nearly 10,000 letters to and from Talbot (1800-1877). An incredible legacy; an indispensable research tool for anyone interested in the life and work of the one of the men who invented photography. Draft transcriptions of nearly all the letters were posted by September 2003 and these are now being further annotated and edited.

The conception and editorial foundations of the project took place at the University of Glasgow between 1999 and 2004.

Fox Talbot Museum in Lacock Abbey, Wiltshire, England commemorates the life and work of William Henry Fox Talbot.
