History Of Photography - Part 3


One of the early innovators in photographic technology was Slovene Janez Puhar who invented the process for putting photos on glass in 1841.

This earned Puhar recognition at the French Académie Nationale Agricole, Manufacturière et Commerciale on July 17th 1852.

A year earlier Frederick Scott Archer developed the collodion process, which was used by children's author Lewis Carroll, whose photos are popular to this day.

Meanwhile,the daguerreotype photographic process,developed by Louis Daguerre in the late 1830s, was enjoying continuing popularity as the demand for photos continued to grow.

But Daguerreotype photos were expensive to produce. This led to a revival in William Fox Talbot's inspired, but secret process.
