(6.5 × 9.3 cm), irregularly trimmed. Date: ca. 1841.About 1841, at the same time he wrote the first historical account of the two-year-old medium of photography and its much longer prehistory, Hunt experimented with practical uses for photography and applied some variant of Talbot's chemistry to paper, linen, and silk, perhaps seeking a new means of textile decoration.
