I visited Lacock Abbey over the weekend. It was the home of William Henry Fox Talbot, inventor of the photographic negative. This window was the one he photographed to produce the first negative in 1835. He then said nothing about his work until Daguerre started his positive-only method and something of a spat ensued about who invented photography first, although really they were very different methods. Anyway, I felt I had to capture this. I only had my iPhone with me but that seemed appropriate somehow.
