On our visit to the National Media Museum in Bradford we had
chance to go look around after seeing an exhibition. I wanted to see the Kodak
Gallery which was a history of photography throughout the years. There were
lots of different cameras to see which were made throughout the years, which
was amazing to see. There was also a daylight studio set up so that you could
see what it was like to have your portrait taken years and years ago.
There was a camera which was the first ever made by William
Henry Fox Talbot, which was called the “Mousetrap” by his wife. Next to it was
a replica of the earliest surviving camera negative which was taken by Talbot
in 1835. It showed a latticed window at his home in Wiltshire.
