William Fox Talbot [1800-1877] is regarded as the father of photogram. He created many of these images by the placement of leaves and pieces of objects like lace on photo-sensitive paper and later exposing them to the sun. Another person who shares credit for the evolution of photograms is Anna Atkins.
How are photograms developed?
A photogram is a photographic image that is made without a camera. Objects are placed directly onto the surface of a light-sensitive photographic paper and then exposed to light in a darkroom. The paper is then developed by using light-sensitive chemicals in the darkroom.

What do photograms look like?
Photograms are very different images to standard photos. Traditionally they were created by placing objects on a sheet of photographic (light sensitive) paper. Objects that are translucent let through some light, and so appear in shades of grey, while objects that are opaque appear as solid white.
What chemicals are used for photograms?
The main chemicals used in the darkroom are developer, which causes the silver iodide of the paper emulsion to darken if it has been exposed to light, and fixer, which removes the undeveloped silver iodide from the emulsion.
