William Henry Fox Talbot was a pioneering British inventor and photographer. He is best known for developing the calotype process (the first negative-positive photographic process) in 1840. A scholar and scientist, he lived much of his life at Lacock Abbey. His notebooks, specifically P & Q, provide primary records of his early experiments with photography.[1]
