Made without a camera, the photogram is obtained by placing objects directly on a sheet of photo paper before exposing the whole to light. Then, under the red lamp of the silver laboratory, it remains to reveal, fix, wash and dry this amazing "photogenic drawing" developed at the beginning of the 19th century by one of the pioneers of photography, Henry Fox Talbot.
