Talbotype, TAL buh typ or TAWL buh typ, was one of the first two photographic processes that marked the beginning of photography. Talbotype and the other process, daguerreotype, were introduced in 1839 (see Daguerreotype). The name talbotype honors its inventor, William H. Fox Talbot, an English classical archaeologist and translator. Calotype is another word for the talbotype process and the prints made by the process.
