William Henry Fox Talbot Catalogue Raisonné
While researching salt printing I came across a fascinating, current, blog by Larry J. Schaaf at the Bodleian Libraries website.

Reading Mike Wares' article about the research he did into print conservation may give some clues as to the colouration in Talbots prints and why they look the way they do today. I wonder how and by whom they were digitised and the effect that could have on them with the light intensity from scanners.

Interesting article and point you make Rob. Maybe they decided to bite the bullet and get them digitised before they end up deteriorating? If you contacted Larry J. Schaaf and asked him he would probably answer your question as it seems to be the nature of the project!

I already emailed him saying he may find the article interesting.
I was just a tad concerned the bodleian blog gives the impression the colours are desired results rather than possibly the result of deterioration and improper fixing.
