Item description from seller

Extract. 2 pp. Very Good. A report of Talbot's paper, read before the Royal Society on Jan. 31, 1839, also appears in The Athenæum No. 588 (2 February 1839), 97. In addition a different and shorter report appeared in The Literary Gazette No. 1150 (2 February 1839), 75. Talbot's paper was never published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society, as has been well documented (see Larry J. Schaaf, ' 'On the Art of Fixing a Shadow' Talbot's first publication on photography', 5th February 2016, Talbot Catalogue Raisonné Web site), but by Taylor in a separate, 14-page edition of 250 copies.
