Photography, Printing.

Photography.— When the progress of any science brings us to the verge of a discovery, it generally presents itself to more than one individual about the same time. While M. Daguerre in France, and another person in England,(Henry Fox Talbot) were developing the art of photography, we find that a young Scotsman, Mr Ambrose Blacklock, of Dumfries, was engaged in inventing and perfecting a process of the same description. His discovery was made about two years ago. We have before us a page of Boerhave's Chemistry, copied by his process, and lithographed by himself, and nothing can be more minutely correct. He can take an exact impression of a drawing, a page of a book, or other object, and transfer it to stone in ten minutes. A short notice of his discovery was sent to the Athenaeum about eighteen months ago. --78.150.137.136 (talk) 22:54, 1 January 2018 (UTC) .[reply]
