Notes:
1. WHFT supplied a manuscript and two original photoglyphic engravings for inclusion in John Thomson, editor, A History and Handbook of Photography, Translated from the French of Gaston Tissandier, second and revised edition, with an Appendix by the Late Henry Fox Talbot (London: Sampson Low, Marston, Searle, & Rivington, 1878). The view, half of a stereo, was probably taken by Walter B. Woodbury or his partner James Page. A sheet of the original manuscript is reproduced in Larry J Schaaf, Sun Pictures Catalogue Twelve: Talbot and Photogravure (New York: Hans P. Kraus, Jr, 1987), appendix. pp. 357–367.
