William Henry fox talbot
William Henry Fox Talbot introduced the Calotype process in 1841. This photographic process used a paper negative to create multiple positive prints, revolutionizing the field of photography.
He invented the photograph, how ever after searching the Internet high and low it appears that he didn't invent the camera? this is very confusing.
The Xerox process was invented by Chester Carlson in 1938. Carlson developed the technology that allowed for creating copies of documents using a photographic process known as xerography. Xerox Corporation was later founded to commercialize this innovation.
The first sound recording process was invented by Thomas Edison in 1877. He created the phonograph, which could capture and play back sound for the first time in history.
The Xerox photocopier was invented by Chester Carlson in the 1940s. Carlson developed the technique of electrophotography, which formed the basis for modern photocopying technology. Xerox Corporation later commercialized Carlson's invention.
A calotype is an early photographic process invented by William Henry Fox Talbot in the 19th century. It involved creating a negative image on paper coated with silver iodide, allowing multiple positive prints to be made from the negative. The calotype process was a significant advancement in the evolution of photography.

It's used to make black and white photos. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calotype
The calotype, an early photographic process, was developed by William Henry Fox Talbot in the 1830s, with the first successful photographic images created in 1834. It was patented in 1841 and allowed for the production of multiple copies from a single negative, marking a significant advancement in photography. This process laid the groundwork for modern photographic techniques.

Calotype-lit. beautiful image or type, is an obsolete photographic technique that is somewhat similar to Daguerrotype. As far as I knwo it is obsolete and no modern outfits make any kits or supplies for its usage. It may have used wet plates which pose operational and these days environmental-chemical disposal problems. It is not obsolete for nothing. I am only aware of calotype as a historical reference,not anything recent or revived. It"s a bit like talking about modern restaurants int he same paragraph with Western Chuck-wagons. Calotype is obsolete and to the best of my knowledge stays that way. on the other hand there have been both Black and white and color revivals (commercially) of pre-taken modern Daguerrotypes on metal*These are sold as the so-called refrigerator magnets, photos of celebrities. These are gift items, not hobby stuff or do-it-youself kits.l some caution is advisable. as far as is know Calotype is not only O(bsolete but as a living processk, EXTINCT. Unlike the dunce above me, who doesn't recognize the historical significance of the calotype process, I would be more than happy to try to list the pros and cons of the calotype process. The advantages of the calotype process over it's rival the daguerreotype were the fact that it made use of a negative, which an unlimited number of copies could be made from. Another advantage was the calotype's use of printing on paper, which was easier to examine, and infinitely less delicate than the glass or tin daguerreotype mediums. The calotype made use of warmer tones, and retouching could be made to the image on the negative OR the positive. The cons however, were the calotype's main downfall in becoming popular in Europe or America. The materials the calotype used were less sensitive to light than those of the daguerreotype, adding more time to the already lengthy process. While the paper was far more durable, it also held imperfections that comprised the quality of the final print, and did not hold the same sharp definition as daguerreotype images. Other small cons included the fact that the prints tended to fade over time, and the process required two steps (making the negative, then the positive from the negative). Hope this helps!
