But Talbot's considerable technical achievements have often overshadowed his growth as an artist. A classicist, physicist, and mathematician by training, Talbot originally viewed his new invention as a means of visual documentation, particularly of the botanical specimens he loved so dearly. But gradually his new technology taught him to see things in a new light, and the growth of Talbots personal vision reflects the beginnings of photography as an art. Larry Schaaf examines this artistic growth in a collection of high quality reproductions of 100 photographs, representing the full sweep of Talbot's work. ISBN 9780691050003.
