More quotes by Henry Fox Talbot
One advantage of the discovery of the Photographic Art will be, that it will enable us to introduce into our pictures a multitude of minute details which add to the truth and reality of the representation, but which no artist would take the trouble to faithfully copy from nature.
Henry Fox Talbot
I do not claim to have perfected an art but to have commenced one, the limits of which it is not possible at present exactly to ascertain.
Henry Fox Talbot
