Visited Lacock Abbey this week—pure magic. Nestled in Wiltshire, it's steeped in history, mystery & ghostly tales. Founded by a 6-year-old countess, home to silent nuns & spirits like the Lady in White. If walls could talk... #LacockAbbey #HauntedPlacesUK

This oriel window at Lacock Abbey, Wiltshire, England was the subject for early attempts to make a photographic negative image on chemically-treated paper between 1835 and 1841 when Henry Fox Talbot announced his paper-based calotype process. Fox Talbot was then unaware of earlier efforts in France by Niépce to capture negative images on chemically-treated pewter, and later by Daguerre on chemically-treated copper. Eventually the negative images would become captured on chemically treated plastic and would become the basis for pre-digital photography.

It is of this window that the first photographic negative was taken by Henry Fox Talbot in 1834. Pretty cool! #photography #lacockabbey #nationaltrust
