"Salt prints are the very first photographs on paper that still exist today. Made
in the first twenty years of photography, they are the results of esoteric knowledge
and skill. Individual, sometimes unpredictable, and ultimately magical, the chemical
capacity to "fix a shadow" on light sensitive paper, coated in silver salts, was believed
to be a kind of alchemy, where nature drew its own picture. Salt and Silver brings
together over 100 plates drawn from the Wilson Centre for Photography, accompanied
by two roundtable discussions with curators, academics, historians and collectors
from world renowned institutions. Encompassing many of the great works of the period,
the publication includes prints by Edouard Baldus, Louis Blanquart-Evrard, Mathew
Brady, Charles Clifford, Louis De Clercq, Maxime Du Camp, Roger Fenton, Jean-Baptiste
Frenet, Charles Hugo, David Octavius Hill, Robert Adamson, Calvert Richard Jones,
Gustave Le Gray, Henri Le Secq, Charles Marville, Felix Nadar, Charles Negre, Felice
Beato, Auguste Salzmann, William Henry Fox Talbot, Felix Teynard and Linnaeus Tripe."
