Discover the remarkable journey of William Henry Fox Talbot, the pioneering inventor of photography, through our latest release from Inventing Photography. This beautifully illustrated book, published by Bodleian Library Publishing in 2023, showcases the innovative spirit of Talbot as he experimented with early photographic techniques in the 1830s. With the ISBN 9781851245963, this edition features a thematic survey of his profound contributions to photography, including his influential photogenic drawing process released in January 1839.

Drawing extensively on the Bodleian Library's rich archive, the book includes three unique albums gifted by Talbot to his sister, Horatia Feilding, alongside notable works such as 'Sun Pictures in Scotland' and 'The Pencil of Nature.' A collection of eighty stunning full-page plates documents Talbot's life, capturing his travels, family, and diverse interests in literature, science, and ancient languages.

Talbot's legacy is explored through an illustrated introduction that contextualizes his achievements within a transformative period in British history, emphasizing how the competition with the daguerreotype process ignited his relentless pursuit of photographic innovation. This remarkable chronicle not only highlights Talbot's artistic achievements but also serves as an insightful exploration into the world of early photography, making it a must-have for photography enthusiasts and historians alike. Uncover the evolution of photography and celebrate the creativity of this foundational figure in the medium's history.

An incredibly soft throw that is holding up well. Not too heavy, not too thin. Perfect size for the sofa for one person. Make sure to wash in cold and air dry!

You will not regret buying this blanket!
Color: Aqua, Size: Queen/King Size - 80" X 90"
I was actually looking for a cotton blanket to add to my bed for fall and winter. Then I came across THIS one. It happens to be the exact shade of (“seaglass” or teal or aqua or whatever you choose to call it) blue green that I am currently redoing my bedroom in. It was a teense more than I’d planned to spend on this project. But I was in a splurgey mood so I went for it. I can honesty say that I’d happily pay twice as much. It’s much more beautiful and much more insanely soft than it looks in the pictures. While I don’t know how the blanket feels about me, I can assure you that I am madly in love with this gorgeous thing! I can’t wait for it to cool off in Southern California so I can roll myself up in it. Maybe I’ll crank the A/C down to 50 degrees and pretend there are more than two seasons (summer and late summer) in California. Anyway, this would make a great gift. It would make a great gift for yourself. Self care is important! Spoil yourself! You, at the very least, deserve a cozy cuddly blanket. I’m certain that this luxurious blanket will cure insomnia. Maybe even depression. I’ve owned it for like 2 hours and I have a whole new outlook on life! I feel pampered, spoiled, like queen of the world, maybe even like Cleopatra! I think that it should be obvious by now that I’m giving this furry looking blanket two thumbs way way up! Sometimes I order things from Amazon and by the time they arrive Ive already forgotten about them. I was anxiously awaiting my blanket friends arrival and I was prepared to be very meh. Not this time! Nope! Best purchase ever! I know what I’m getting everyone for Christmas! Buy several for future use. This blanket has made me deliriously happy! Update: After owning this blanket for, like, a while, I still love it. Shockingly it washes up beautifully! A word of advice. Fabric softener is a big no no. It gets the fur gummy and feeling like unwashed hair after a month. I imagine. I’ve personally never gone with unwashed hair for more than a day or two. It is at its fluffy and soft best when you use one of those new Downey rinses instead. That seems to remove all residue and it comes out feeling even better than brand new. A word of warning. Do not picnic on this blanket. The fur will encase and preserve your crumbs better than Tupperware. You may find a lost treasure that you don’t actually want in there. Best used for sleeping only.
