Notes:

1. This letter is mounted on an album page with a specimen of photographic engraving, a view of the Pantheon, labelled in Herschel’s hand “Talbots last steel engraved Photograph (self engraved) Pantheon Paris”. However, this particular image is likely to be from a later date, and so was not included with those enclosed in the letter; see Doc. No: 06962.
