Thomas WEDGWOOD (1771-1805) & Sir Humphry DAVY (1778-1829), William Henry Fox TALBOT (1800-1877)
CONSTRAINT : only flat or squashable subjects.
INVENTION : photogenic drawing (1799, 1835).
WORKS : Talbot’s paper works include silhouettes of botanical specimens, lace, feathers etc.. Davy and Wedgwood did not fix with amonia their silver-chloride on white leather ϕs, and so their works (silhouettes, but also solar micrographs and camera obscura ϕs) faded after 1885. Baden-Powel ϕed postage stamps and paper money.
