Interesting to see some of the salt prints from calotypes made by the pioneer and those to whom he licenced the process. My impression was that the prints from 1840 were not quite there but by 1841 he had cracked it. Mostly about the man and the commercial aspects of the calotype process but there is a thread on APUG that covers the chemical side of his pioneering work:
(there was a url link here which no longer exists)
How photography moved on to the collodion process is not included in the exhibition.
