Peer Review #2

[edit]

Hi Jammer092,

I thought that the lead paragraph did offer good insight to the subject, History of Photography. The structure of the topic was well organized. I did not sense that anything major was left out, nor did I feel that there was anything off-topic in the article. The article seemed to present a neutral tone. My guess is that the authors have an interest in photography and its history. I found no claims made by unnamed groups or individuals. The sources cited were many, scholarly, and cover a wide span of time. There were some unsourced statements as noted at the bottom of this review. Here are a few notes for your consideration:

Technological Background: This section might benefit by adding a little more detail?

Development of chemical photography: In the third paragraph,...Shultz wrote, "the rays.." Maybe this quote should be cited?

When I saw the name Thomas Wedgewood, it made me wonder if he was related to Josiah Wedgewood, famous for his pottery. A quick check revealed that Thomas was his son and had grown up surrounded by inventors, artists, sculptors and poets.

Maybe interesting to add? Here's a link for you: https://www.gillmanandsoame.co.uk/blog/the-story-of-thomas-wedgwood-early-photography-exp/

Popularization: I'm sure you already know that there are some citations needed?

In America, by 1851 a broadside by ... Maybe an brief explanation of "broadside" might help the average reader?
