Faraday announces photographyIn 1839, Michael Faraday publicly announced for the first time the existence of photography as the subject of his Friday Evening Discourse at the Royal Institution. Faraday announced the “ Daguerreotype”and Henry Fox Talbot's “photogenic drawings”at the same time, and invited the audience to inspect the specimens displayed in the library. Talbot returned the following week to read a more detailed paper describing his process.
