Resumo
Archer (1813-1857) Was the Inventor of the Wet Collodion Process Which Replaced the Calotype and Daguerreotype Processes. The Collodion Process Was the First Photographic Process in Which Finely Detailed Negatives and More than One Copy of a Picture Could Be Produced. Most Popular between 1855 and 1880, It Was Eventually Replaced by the Dry Collodian Process. Although This Was One of the Most Important Advances in Photography, Archer Failed to Patent His Invention and Died Penniless. Royal Photographic Society/NMeM/ Science & Society Picture Library.
