> Considerably less well known—in his native UK especially—is William Henry Fox Talbot I'm really not sure about the premise of this article. Fox-Talbot is not especially unknown in the UK, if anything I'd say he was actually pretty well known here. As a child I can definitely remember seeing BBC TV programmes like Blue Peter celebrating his work. If you'd have asked me as a child who invented photography I probably would have said his name because that's what we were taught. I might have known the name Louis Daguerre was involved somehow in an early rival process but I would have also known that modern photography (at the time) was based on Fox-Talbot's concept of the negative.
