A Moment in Photographic History:
On September 21, 1840 William Henry Fox Talbot added gallic acid to his silver nitrate solution used in his negative-positive photographic system, and greatly reduced exposure times. His shot of a latticed window in Lacock Abbey made in 1835 is a print from the oldest photographic negative in existence.
A Photographic Quote of Note:
