After 1839, Talbot Paved the Way for Modern PhotographyShunji Takada2024 Volume 87 Issue 1 Pages 32-41

JOURNAL OPEN ACCESSThis is the third report on “Pioneers in the History of Photographic Technology”. Arago's daguerreotype pension bill in the French parliament in 1839 aroused the competitive spirit of Victorian scientist Talbot. As a result, in 1840 Tal- bot discovered a developing method that chemically amplified the invisible latent image and made it visible, and the following year he patented it as a Calotype. Chapter 2 of this report describes the Calotype method and its practical example, photo book publishing. Chapter 3 describes the patent litigation between the Photographic Society, which was established in 1853 with the aims of popularizing collodion photography, and Talbot, which claims that collodion photography was within the scope of Calotype patent rights. Then the author introduces Talbot as the father of mod- ern photographic technology that continues to this day.View full abstractDownload PDF (1236K) -
