Wlliam Henry Fox Talbot (1800-77), a brilliant man of many talents (Fig. 1), is best known as one of the pioneers of photography, and, above all, for his invention of the calotype--or negative-positive--process in 1840. (1) What is less well known is that it was his interest in plants, and the search for an improved method of recording them, that led to his ground-breaking discovery. At his home at Lacock Abbey in Wiltshire, he developed and stocked the Botanic Garden specifically in order to pursue his own studies. (2)
