Hello,

The horrible fate of Levi Hill: inventor of colour photography
Popular Photography (U.S.A.), vol. 58, no. 7, July 1994, pp. 42-3, 140, (3
colour)
"He concludes by stating that Hill did indeed invent a repeatable method of
making colour daguerreotypes, but one which was not really commercially
practical, and by suggesting that the photographer may have been killed by
the combinations of toxic fumes to which he exposed himself during the
process of creating such images."

Hi. Does anyone know of a nineteenth or early twentieth century
photographer who became ill as a result of using one of the processes or
chemicals of that medium? I have a student looking for the info. I've
checked the art databases and Google and got nowhere.
