On the Chemical Action of the Rays of the Solar Spectrum on Preparations of Silver and other Substances both metallic and non-metallic and on some Photographic Processes. Received and Read Febrauray 20 1840. Note I- III.- On the Distribution .
London Richard and John E. Taylor 1840. 4to. No wrappers as extracted from "Philosophical Transactions" 1840 - Part I. Pp. 1-59. Note I- III pp. 51-59 and 2 plates. one showing Herschel's telescope lithographed; the other showing the heat spectrum of the sun in stipple engraving. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of an important pioneer-paper in the history of early photography in which subject John Herschel was one of the main contributors. The paper deals with the dynamical interplay between photochemistry and photography and is of the greatest importence in applied photography. The later sections of the paper deals with the spectrum of the sun Herschel's so-called thermographical representation of the spectrum of the sun with description of the Actinograph invented by him rendering the heat radiation visible in the spectrum. This first importent spectrum is reproduced here on one of the plates in stipple engraving. In this paper he introduces the photographical concepts 'positive' and 'negative' to express respectively pictures in which the lights and shades are the same as in nature or as in the original model and in which they are opposite. For this large paper John Herschel was awarded the Copley archives winners Prize for 1840."The object which the author has in view in this memoir is to place on record a number of insulated facts and observations respecting the relations bothof white light and of the differently refrangible rays to various chemical agents whic have offered themselves to his notice in the course of his photographical experiments suggested by the announcement of M. Daguerre's discovery.The terms "direct" and "reverse" are also used to express pictures in which objects appear as regards right and left the same as in the original and the contrary.The principal objects of inquiry in the present paper.are the following. First the means of fixing photographs the comparative merits of different chemical agents.The means of taking photographic copies and transfers.The preparation of photographic paper.The chemical analysis of the solar spectrum forms the subjects of the next section in the paper."Abstract. </em> unknown

"The beginning of high speed photography might be considered to be William Henry Fox Talbot's experiment in 1851. He attached a page of the London Times newspaper to a wheel which was rotated in front of his wet plate camera in a darkened room. As the wheel rotated Talbot exposed a few square inches of the newspaper page for about 1/2000th of a second using spark illumination from Leyden jars. This experiment resulted in a readable image." </em> unknown

" I Was So Impressed With The Use Of Photographs That I Began To Promote The Idea Of Photographing The Great Changes That Were Taking Place In America.

I Never Saw Anything Of The Main Streets Of Little Towns With Big Signs 'Store For Rent' And No Shots Of Rusting Coal Cars And Idle Tipples And Smokeless Smokestacks Along The Roads I Drove On My Way Back To West Virginia To Visit My People. I Decided If I Couldn't Make A Movie I Would Collect News Photographs And Do A Picture Book In The Form Of A Newsreel With Large Captions At The Top And Concise News Photographs Alongside The Big Pictures."
