Photography and an age of paradox
The formative years : the calotype in the 1840s
The great exhibition of 1851
Battling patents and gaining legitimacy
The calotype finds its place
Subjects fit for the camera
British sensibilities 1855-1857
Echoes of the grand tour
Under an Indian sky
Commercialism advances, the calotype declines.
