Thomas Wedgwood 1771 - 1805 was the son of the famous English ceramicist and industrialist Josiah Wedgwood. Sickly as a youth he was well tutored at home in science art philosophy and literature. In 1790 he was experimenting with nitrate of silver; he wrote of his observations on light and optics and "Time Space and Motion" an interest he shared with his close friend Samuel Taylor Coleridge. At age 24 Wedgwood co-authored with Humphry Davy "An Account of a Method of Copying Paintings Upon Glass and of Making Profiles by the Agency of Light Upon Nitrate of Silver" published in the first issue of JOURNAL OF THE ROYAL INSTITUTION OF GREAT BRITAIN June 1802. Despite this published record of their ability to make cameraless photographic prints they were unable to discover a fixative and all visual proof vanished. The appendices include the first English translation of Schulze's 1727 report on the darkening of silver salts when exposed to light.<br/><br/>See: ENCYCLOPEDIA OF NINETEENTH-CENTURY PHOTOGRAPHY p. 1482 - 1483.
