| 1. |  | Henry Fox Talbot 1841 Oak Tree in Winter Salt print 7 5/8 x 6 9/16 in J. Paul Getty Museum The J. Paul Getty Trust (84.XM.893.1) Getty curatorial note: William Henry Fox Talbot's image of a graceful and heroic oak tree, one of the first images to be fixed with a "hypo" solution, represents a pivotal development in the history of photography. In 1839 Talbot made public his process for fixing images on paper treated with silver chloride. He fixed his original images, however, with a salt that did not actually remove the silver chloride, leaving the image unstable and still sensitive to light. In 1841, the year this picture was taken, he began printing more stable images by using a fixing agent called "hypo," which thoroughly removed the silver chloride. Although the fuzziness of Talbot's first prints made his images in some ways less pleasing than the exactness of a daguerreotype, the process did allow multiple positive images to be created from a single negative. In this regard, Talbot's discoveries represent the origin of modern photography.

"the Fairy Tree" Calotype print 22.50 x 16.60 cm National Galleries of Scotland Courtesy of the National Galleries of Scotland (Accession no. PGP HA 426) Text from the National Galleries of Scotland Early photographic chemicals responded at different speeds to different colours; they were slow to react to the green of trees and grass. This may explain why, Hill, who was an experienced landscape painter, only took a few landscape calotypes. This tree could just be a dead branch with a few tendrils of ivy. The background is made up of spots of unreadable light, which could be the shimmer of leaves or water. It is impossible to tell whether this tree is real or not by looking at the photograph.

But, from a Japanese perspective, it was exotic English, and used for a proprietary line of over 1,600 stereoview titles published sometime during the years 1905-12. Connected with KINKODO publishers of Yokohama, the series seems to be the work of many contributing photographers --- including what appear to be some variant views from T. ENAMI --- who all had their work processed and mounted by one studio. |
