William Henry Fox Talbot’s circle of friends and fellow photographers included Calvert Richard Jones, a mathematician, draftsman, and parson from Wales. Talbot often visited Wales where his cousins, Christopher (Kit) Talbot and Emma Talbot, who was married to John Dillwyn Llewelyn, lived. Talbot, Jones, and Llewelyn practiced the daguerreotype and calotype processes around their country estates. During trips to the Mediterranean, Jones took land and seascapes as well as portraits of local people. He often gave his negatives to Nicolaas Henneman. Henneman was Talbot’s former valet who became manager of the Reading Establishment, which was established to produce photographs to appear in Talbot’s publications and where The Pencil of Nature was printed. He further processed Jones’ images, which included fixing and waxing the negatives.
