Fox Talbot Museum and History of Photography
On Saturday 31st May 2014 we had a staff outing to the Fox Talbot Museum and History of Photography at Lacock. The Fox Talbot Museum celebrates the life and work of William Henry Fox Talbot (1800-77) who owned and lived in Lacock Abbey.
Fox Talbot created the first ever photographic negative in 1835, taken of a small window at the Abbey. He shared his invention with the world four years later in 1839, 175 years ago. We have come a very long way since then, into the digital age, but it is well worth remembering where it all started.
You can visit the fascinating Fox Talbot Museum at the National Trust's Lacock Abbey in Wiltshire. Entry is free to National Trust Members. Check it out here.
