| Abstract: | Abstract On the 25th September 1934, the Estonian newspaper Postimees published an interesting article concerning one of the founders of photography, W. H. F. Talbot.1 Talbot's granddaughter, Miss Matilda Talbot, visited Estonia from the 17th September until the 1st October of that year, and the article was about her visit as well as her grandfather. She was the guest of Mrs Hünerson, Chief Commissioner of the Estonian Girl Guides, who had been in England that summer to attend a Girl Guide conference, and had been introduced to Miss Talbot at Lacock Abbey by a mutual acquaintance. Miss Talbot spent her time mainly at Tartu, but she also visited Petseri and Voru, small towns in southern Estonia, about 60 – 80 kilometres from that city. She was later to include a delightful account of her impressions of this Estonian holiday in one chapter of her memoirs.2 |
