Lacock 16 Sept. / 58

Dr Sir

I thank you for the offer of your journal, I shall be very happy to receive it.

I request your acceptance of some of my engravings which I have sent in a railway parcel today – I propose to call at your house on Wednesday at 2 oclock with my album.

The new art has received the name of Photoglyphic Engraving an appellation suggested by the analogy of Hieroglyphic and some other words – Such an engraving can be called simply a Photoglyph if a single term to express it should be found requisite or convenient

I remain Yours vy truly

H. F. Talbot

All the engravings are from Photographs.
