Member Offer: Fox Talbot: Dawn of the Photograph

This exhibition at London's Media Space at the Science Museum looks at the work of  William Henry Fox Talbot who revolutionised culture and communications by inventing the negative-positive process, a technique that formed the basis of photography around the world for over 150 years and immortalised him as father of the photograph.
  
Discover the influence Talbot’s revolutionary technology, techniques and practices had on his contemporary practitioners – Anna Atkins, Hill and Adamson, and Calvert Jones – and see original prints from his seminal publication 'The Pencil of Nature' alongside the oldest surviving daguerrotypes by fellow photography pioneer Louis Daguerre.
Book tickets here and use the code FOXRPS50 for a 50 per cent discount on tickets.
