ATTRIBUTED TO WILLIAM HENRY FOX TALBOT, ATTRIBUTED TO NICOLAAS HENNEMAN. [The Reading Establishment]

[The Reading Establishment]. Artist: Attributed to William Henry Fox Talbot (British, Dorset 1800-1877 Lacock); Attributed to Nicolaas Henneman (Dutch, Heemskerk 1813-1898 London). Dimensions: Left image: 18.6 x 22.4 cm (7 5/16 x 8 13/16 in.)
Right image: 18.1 × 22 cm (7 1/8 × 8 11/16 in.)
Overall sheet: 19.9 × 49.1 cm (7 13/16 × 19 5/16 in.). Date: 1846.
The widespread distribution of large editions of photographic prints was the promise of Talbot's negative-positive process and its principal advantage over the contemporaneous French daguerreotype. In early 1844, in an effort to encourage the mass production of paper photographs, Talbot supported Nicolaas Henneman, his former valet, in the creation of the first photographic printing firm, situated in the town of Reading. It was there that prints for The Pencil of Nature were produced. 
The activities of the Reading establishment are shown here: Talbot, operating the camera at the center, makes a portrait, while at the right Henneman photographs a sculpture of the Three Graces. Other employees copy an engraving, stand attentively with a second camera back-loaded with sensitized paper, attend the racks of glass frames in which negatives and photographic paper are sandwiched for printing in sunlight, and adjust a device likely intended to aid focusing.

Título: [The Reading Establishment]
Descripción:
Traducción automática: [El establecimiento de lectura]. Artista: atribuido a William Henry Fox Talbot (británico, Dorset, 1800-1877 Lacock); Atribuido a Nicolaas Henneman (Holandés, Heemskerk, Londres, 1813-1898). Dimensiones: Imagen izquierda: 18,6 x 22,4 cm (7 5/16 x 8 13/16 pulg.) Imagen derecha: 18,1 × 22 cm (7 1/8 × 8 11/16 pulg.) Hoja total: 19,9 × 49,1 cm ( 7 13/16 × 19 5/16 pulg.). Fecha: 1846. La amplia distribución de grandes ediciones de impresiones fotográficas fue la promesa del proceso negativo-positivo de Talbot y su principal ventaja sobre el daguerrotipo francés contemporáneo. A principios de 1844, en un esfuerzo por fomentar la producción en masa de fotografías en papel, Talbot apoyó a Nicolaas Henneman, su antiguo ayuda de cámara, en la creación de la primera imprenta fotográfica, situada en la ciudad de Reading. Fue allí donde se produjeron las copias de El lápiz de la naturaleza. Aquí se muestran las actividades del establecimiento Reading: Talbot, manejando la cámara en el centro, hace un retrato, mientras que a la derecha, Henneman fotografía una escultura de las Tres Gracias. Otros empleados copian un grabado, permanecen atentos ante una segunda cámara cargada con papel sensibilizado, observan los estantes de marcos de vidrio en los que se intercalan negativos y papel fotográfico para imprimir a la luz del sol y ajustan un dispositivo probablemente destinado a ayudar a enfocar.
