Photogenic drawings

Scope note

Use for Talbot's photographs produced by his photogenic drawing process, a printing-out process, some as photograms and others with a camera. Distinguished from "calotypes" which were produced by Talbot's patented developing-out process called "calotype." In the mid-19th century, sometimes used as a synonym of photographs. For most prints made from these negatives, use "salted paper prints."
