The rate of production increased to such a degree that it became possible to make original prints by the thousand to illustrate Talbot's The Pencil of Nature, a book published in six installments by Longman, Brown, Green, & Longmans of London between June 1844 and April 1846. It was a collection of twenty-four calotypes with a historical introduction putting on record, Talbot wrote, "some of the early beginnings of a new art, before the period, which we trust is approaching, of its being brought to maturity by the aid of British talent." The plates were mostly of architecture, still-life arrangements, or works of art. Accompanying each was a page or two of text explaining the significance of the picture and occasionally offering predictions not realized for decades.
