Paragraph 3: A second and very different process was patented by the British
inventor William Henry Talbot (1800-1877) in 1841. Talbot’s “calotype” was
the first negative-to-positive process and the direct ancestor of the modern
photograph. The calotype was revolutionary in its use of chemically treated
paper in which areas hit by light became dark in tone, producing a negative
image. This “negative” as Talbot called it, could then be used to print
multiple positive images on another piece of treated paper.
Paragraph 4: The two processes produced very different results. The
daguerreotype was a unique image that reproduced what was in front of the
camera lens in minute, unselective detail and could not be duplicated. The
calotype could be made in series, and was thus the equivalent of an etching
or an engraving. Its general effect was soft edged and tonal.
4. According to paragraph 2 and 3, which of the following did the
daguerreotype and the calotype have in common?
○They were equally useful for artists.
○They could be reproduced.
○They produced a permanent image.
○They were produced on treated paper.
答案是三，為什麼二錯= =
不是都可以重複生產嗎?
Paragraph 6: Photography did indeed make certain kinds of painting obsolete—
the daguerreotype virtually did away with the portrait miniature. It also
made the whole business of making and owning images democratic. Portraiture,
once a luxury for the privileged few, was suddenly well within the reach of
many more people.
