Printed Light: Scientific Art of William Henry Fox Talbot and David Octavius Hill with Robert Adamson

by John Ward

Publisher's Description
This catalogue represents an effort by the Science Museum in London and the Scottish National Portrait Gallery to "explore the interlocking worlds of art and science in the early nineteenth century to see how they complemented as well as opposed each other, and how they created a climate in which the earliest photographs proved also to be amongst the most remarkable ever taken"--Timothy Clifford and Neil Cossons, curators.
