Portrait of William Henry Fox Talbot (early 1840s). Talbot invented and patented the negative/positive photographic process known as the calotype, which meant multiple copies of a picture could be printed. Ironically, the most successful portraits of Talbot were taken using the invention of his main rival Daguerre: the Daguerreotype
