Who invented the Calotype process? What are the advantages and disadvantages of the process?
~William Fox Talbot
~Advantage: from the negative of the calotype an unlimited amount of duplicates could be made
~Disadvantage: quality was inferior to the striking images produced by the Daguerreotype process
Post an example of a Wet Collodion Process image.

~Fredrick Scott Archer
~Advantage: much faster, reduced the exposure time to two or three seconds, the cost was significantly less than the previous processes
