A campaign launched by Oxford University’s Bodleian Libraries to acquire a valuable archive of images by photography pioneer Fox Talbot has been thrown a £200,000 lifeline. Campaigners want to ‘save’ the archive of images, which has been transferred to a New York dealer with an eye to selling it on the open market. If the campaign is successful, the historic collection will remain in the UK. The massive £200,000 (~$ 300K) donation takes the campaign to within £375,000 of its target of £2.25 million.
