Originally published as a serial between 1844 and 1846, The Pencil of Nature was the first book to be illustrated entirely with photographs. Early enthusiast William Henry Fox Talbot hoped to spur public interest in photographybut was forced to cease publication after just six installments. In its time, The Pencil of Nature was a commercial disaster.150 years later, Talbots Pencil is recognized as a major contribution to both the history of photography and the development of the book. Talbot not only invented the calotype processthe precursor to todays film camerashe transformed his everyday subjects into art. Architectural studies and local landscapes, stilllifes, closeups, and even a single, painstakingly executed portraitTalbots twentyfour prints remain strikingly modern and quietly beautiful.Reproduced from the original plates held in Englands National Media Museum, each print is accompanied by the artists own careful description of its creation. An introduction gives further shape to Talbots life, making The Pencil of Nature an essential volume for historians, photographers, and anyone interested in the development of this modern art.
