The very first book in the world to be illustrated with photographs
was produced in Reading between 1844 and 1846. In 1843, William
Henry Fox Talbot set up the first commercial studios to
mass-produce photographs from negatives and he chose the Berkshire
town of Reading as its location. The Reading Establishment, as it
became known, marks a pivotal moment in the development of
photography. Martin Andrews tells the story of these momentous
events and places them in the context of the discovery and early
history of photography. Told in a lively and engaging way, the
story starts with a mystery. Who is the strange, foreign gentleman
buying unusual substances in the chemist shops of Reading - is he a
forger or a spy?
