Digital BW, The Print

That's interesting, because the University of Texas in Austin has the first
claimed photograph, by Talbot. From what I have read, Talbot created the
first photograph that could be fixed, and that earlier photographs were
taken but quickly faded away.

The world's oldest known photograph, which just sold for $392,000, is an ink
on paper print (made from a plate created with a light sensitive process).
We are not so far from True Vine.

Interesting article.  The subject of this photograph is an etching. 
So our earliest known photograph was of another work of art.  Perhaps he was
trying to find a way to reproduce original works, and at that time didn't
think of it as a way to create original works...just speculation.

Clayton
