Description: | A photographic engraving from a metal plate entitled 'Crossed Muslin', taken by William Henry Fox Talbot, between 1852 and 1858. The image was made using the photoglyphic engraving process, invented by Talbot. A chemical mixture was applied to a metal plate, then exposed under an object or a photographic positive. The coating hardened where the light reached it, the plate could then be etched and used for printing. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Subjects: | photoglyphic engraving photograph | Temporal: | 1852-1858 | Source: | Science Museum | Creator: | Talbot, William Henry Fox (1800-1877) | Identifier: | 1937-5106/3 | Go to resource |
