This is the first exhibition in Britain devoted to salted paper prints, one of the earliest forms of photography. A British invention, unveiled by William Henry Fox Talbot in 1839, salt prints spread across the globe, creating a new visual language of the modern moment. This technique transformed subjects from still lifes, portraits, landscapes and scenes of daily life into images with their own specific aesthetic: a soft effect particular to this photographic process. The few salt prints that survive are seldom seen due to their fragility, and so this exhibition, is a opportunity to see the rarest early photographs of this type in the world. Organised in collaboration with the Wilson Centre for Photography.
