介绍（中）	塔尔博特不仅是一个有学问的人和皇家学会的会员，他还是英国地主贵族的一员。父亲去世后，六个月大的亨利·塔尔博特被任命为拉科克修道院（Lacock Abbey）的唯一继承人。修道院建立于1232年，1539年亨利八世解散修道院后，修道院被改建为私人住宅，教堂被拆除。修道院十五世纪的回廊是这一场景的背景，可能是塔尔博特的密友兼摄影弟子卡尔弗特·琼斯建造的直到塔尔博特的第二个重要发现之后，肖像和人物研究才成为一个可行的摄影主题。1840年9月23日，塔尔博特发现了一种方法，可以用化学方法激发——或者说显影——在一张感光纸上记录的潜像，曝光时间太短，无法明显压印。有了这一新工艺，其发明人以calotype或talbotype的形式获得了专利，曝光时间可以从几分钟减少到几秒钟。
介绍（英）	Talbot was not only a man of learning and a Fellow of the Royal Society, he was also a member of Great Britain's landed gentry. Following the death of his father, six-month-old Henry Talbot was named the sole heir to the sprawling and somewhat ruinous estate known as Lacock Abbey. Established in 1232, the abbey was converted into a private residence and its church demolished after the dissolution of the monasteries by Henry VIII in 1539. The fifteenth-century cloisters of the abbey are the setting for this scene, which may have been set up by Talbot's close friend and photographic disciple Calvert Jones. Portraiture and figure studies became a viable subject for photography only after Talbot's second important discovery. On September 23, 1840, Talbot had found a way to chemically excite--or develop, as we would say--the latent image that had registered on a sheet of photo sensitized paper during an exposure too brief to imprint itself visibly. With this new process, patented by its inventor as the calotype or talbotype, exposure times could be reduced from minutes to seconds.
