William Henry Fox Talbot. ve Times says “To Henry Fox 
Talbot, rather than to Niepce or Daguerre, belongs by right the credit of 
the discovery of Photography . . . It seems strange that the Inventor 
of Photography who was prominent in every step of its progress for forty 
years should have received so little public recognition, while Daguerre 
has received so much. The explanation lies in the characters of the men. 
¢ Daguerre, the successful showman and painter of dioramas, versed in the 
methods of advertisement, secured the dramatic réclame of his Govern- 
ment’s vigorous recognition and support. Fox Talbot, a man of ancient 
family and reasonable wealth,distinguished as a mathematician, orientalist, 
botanist, chemist, and astronomer, received the recognition’of the scientific 
world, but is practically unknown to the public.” 
The Standard had also an article on him, Feb. 9th; and the Photogram, 
quoted by Devizes Gazette, Jan. 4th, 1900, dwells on his achievements
