A Photographic History Note:
Henry Fox Talbot, upon hearing of the announcement made in Paris Academy of Sciences of Louis Daguerre’s photographic discovery, quickly prepared a paper on the subject for immediate publication in weekly journals and for submission to the Royal Society. His paper describing his success with his print-out process a few years previously was read at the Royal Society meeting of 31 January 1839.
