1989 Time
Reprieved, Time Retrieved The first major exhibition
on WHF Talbot to tour Europe and was part of the
sesquicentennial celebration for the announcement of the
invention of photography. This exhibition and the
subsequent publication was drawn from images from the
Lacock Abbey and Science Museum Collections. One of the
principal aims of the exhibition was to make available a
significant number of Talbot’s images which survive
only in negative form. It was the largest exhibition ever
staged of his images, the full exhibition comprised of 80
original prints and 60 new silver / salt paper prints taken
from the original negatives. The resultant surrogate
negatives were printed in the sunlight following the same
photo-chemical processes used by Nicolaas Henneman at the
Reading Establishment.
