- Object name(s):
- fossil: mammal; EQUIDAE: Equus caballus: horse; horse
- Brief description:
- These fossilised horse teeth were collected from Kents Cavern. The presence of such fossils in Devonshire caves suggest that these horses were preyed on by hyenas. Caves offer natural sheltered dens which would attract prey animals for which hyenas and other predators would use as homes.

- Object name(s):
- fossil: coral; Smithia pengellyi: coral: polished slab; coral
- Brief description:
- A polished Devonian age coral (416 – 359 million years old) found in Barton Quarry near Torquay. This period in Earth’s history was first recognised when studying the geology of Devon, hence its name. In the Devonian, southern England was located underwater to the south of the equator on the fringe of the tropics. This specimen is from the shallow, warm water limestone outcropping on the south Devon coast.
This object is on display at RAMM in the Down to Earth gallery.

- Text:
- Benjamin Brecknell Turner (1815-1894) was one of the first British amateur photographers. Born in London, he became a ‘tallow-chandler’ and helped to run his family’s business, which sold wax-based products, such as candles and saddle soap. As noted in his perpetual diary Turner began using a camera on 10th of March 1849. He took out a license from William Henry Fox Talbot, the inventor of the calotype negative-positive process, to practice this form of photography. Talbot had only introduced this process to the public in 1841. Put simply, the process involves coating a sheet of paper with silver chloride. After exposure to light, the areas of the paper hit by the light appear darker in tone. The resulting negative is then waxed to make it transparent. From this negative a contact print can be made by putting another sheet of photosensitised paper underneath the negative and leaving it in the sun to develop.
Turner’s paper negatives are among the earliest photographic negatives ever made. He worked on a large-scale; most of his negatives are around 30 x 40 cm. His images result from a long exposure time (up to thirty minutes), which means that many of the negatives do not show any figures or animals. As these are moving objects, they would not have remained still enough during the exposure to be recorded on the negative. As his subjects he often chose (ruined) churches and abbeys, castles and manors, the countryside, villages and cottages, trees and the seaside. Most of his pictures were taken during his travels around the English countryside. He seems to have been particularly fond of Worcestershire and the village of Bredicot, where his father-in-law owned Bredicot Court. Turner compiled 60 of these pictures in the album Photographic Views of Nature (of which the V&A owns the only copy). In 1857 Turner toured Holland and took some of the earliest photographs of Amsterdam.
For his photographic excursions the calotype process was ideal. Notwithstanding the arrival of the glass plate negative or wet collodion process, pioneered by Frederick Scott Archer in 1851, Turner still preferred paper negatives. In comparison to calotypes, the wet collodion process enables a higher resolution and shorter exposure times. However, paper was lighter to carry than glass and easier to handle, as a glass plate negative had to be exposed while still wet, and developed immediately. The paper fibres of the paper also produced a distinctive aesthetic when developing images: it makes them slightly rough, with a grainy texture that seems to be a good fit for Turner’s photographs of rural scenes.

- Benjamin Brecknell Turner (1815-1894) was one of the first British amateur photographers. Born in London, he became a ‘tallow-chandler’ and helped to run his family’s business, which sold wax-based products, such as candles and saddle soap. As noted in his perpetual diary Turner began using a camera on 10th of March 1849. He took out a license from William Henry Fox Talbot, the inventor of the calotype negative-positive process, to practice this form of photography. Talbot had only introduced this process to the public in 1841. Put simply, the process involves coating a sheet of paper with silver chloride. After exposure to light, the areas of the paper hit by the light appear darker in tone. The resulting negative is then waxed to make it transparent. From this negative a contact print can be made by putting another sheet of photosensitised paper underneath the negative and leaving it in the sun to develop.
Turner’s paper negatives are among the earliest photographic negatives ever made. He worked on a large-scale; most of his negatives are around 30 x 40 cm. His images result from a long exposure time (up to thirty minutes), which means that many of the negatives do not show any figures or animals. As these are moving objects, they would not have remained still enough during the exposure to be recorded on the negative. As his subjects he often chose (ruined) churches and abbeys, castles and manors, the countryside, villages and cottages, trees and the seaside. Most of his pictures were taken during his travels around the English countryside. He seems to have been particularly fond of Worcestershire and the village of Bredicot, where his father-in-law owned Bredicot Court. Turner compiled 60 of these pictures in the album Photographic Views of Nature (of which the V&A owns the only copy). In 1857 Turner toured Holland and took some of the earliest photographs of Amsterdam.
For his photographic excursions the calotype process was ideal. Notwithstanding the arrival of the glass plate negative or wet collodion process, pioneered by Frederick Scott Archer in 1851, Turner still preferred paper negatives. In comparison to calotypes, the wet collodion process enables a higher resolution and shorter exposure times. However, paper was lighter to carry than glass and easier to handle, as a glass plate negative had to be exposed while still wet, and developed immediately. The paper fibres of the paper also produced a distinctive aesthetic when developing images: it makes them slightly rough, with a grainy texture that seems to be a good fit for Turner’s photographs of rural scenes.
