Roger Fenton and the Waxed Paper Process.

The article examines the early encounters of photographer Roger Fenton with paper-based processes in photography in England. In a study of Fenton, Valerie Lloyd claims that Fenton took up waxed paper photography as his first encounter with the medium. The author suggests that Fenton acquired some experience of the Waxed Paper Process during a visit to France in October 1851. He also guesses the Fenton started his career in photography in 1849 or 1850. In his essay entitled "A Guide to Photography," he explains that he uses the dry version of the Waxed Paper Process.
