On the left, the pioneering Welsh photographer
J.D. Llewelyn stands with his camera. He learned
of the calotype, or paper negative, photographic
process directly from its inventor, his cousinin-
law, William Henry Fox Talbot. On the right,
Llewelyn’s wife leans over a printing frame,
which was used to secure a negative against
sensitised paper for exposure in sunlight.
