The world first image

These images are early life in Victoria which are some of the earliest photographs ever taken

The complete works of William Henry Fox Talbot - hailed as the British father of photography - have been brought together on a new website launched by the Bodleian Libraries at the University of Oxford.

The free site has been launched in time to celebrate the anniversary of the pioneer's birthday, which was February 11, 1800.

Professor Larry J Schaaf, project director for the Talbot Catalogue Raisonne, said: 'There has been nothing like this before in the history of photography.'
