Biography
Archer F.S., Sparrows House , 1857 |
In March 1851, Archer was the first to publish a detailed description of the process, called "wet collodion." The invention was not patented and was presented by him as an “open gift to the whole world”. This process supplanted both daguerreotype and calotypy and became the main photographic process for 30 years [5] .
In 1852, he also published the first guide to wet collodion, entitled “Manual of the Collodion Photographic Process” [6] [5] .
Later he was the first to propose the idea of sticking collodion positive onto a layer with an image and a glass base, which was widely used in printing works [5] .
