I believe that both Talbot and Cameron were quite keen on making some money
off their photographic efforts. In the winter of 1865-66 Cameron consigned
about 460 prints to the Colnaghi Gallery in London. They also offered prints
taken in the Crimea by Roger Fenton. Cameron even had a published price
list. Later Cameron hired the Autotype Company to produce carbon prints for
her.
Talbot of course set up a production line at Reading to mass produce
photographs for the first commercial book of photography, "The Pencil of
Nature".

Unfortunately all of the Talbots are rather faded, and the Camerons have
terrible processing faults.... :-)
I quite like the idea of 'unlimited editions' though.
