Description: | A photogenic drawing of leaves and a stem, taken by William Henry Fox Talbot. Photogenic drawing was Talbot's name for the results of his first, camera-less photographic process, derived from experiments he had begun in 1834 but did not announce until 1839. To produce a photogenic drawing Talbot placed objects or leaves on sensitized paper. The areas where light fell became darkened, while covered areas remained light, resulting in a negative image. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Subjects: | photogenic drawing photograph | Temporal: | c. 1838 | Source: | Science Museum | Creator: | Talbot, William Henry Fox (1800-1877) | Identifier: | 2003-5001/2/23360 | Go to resource |
