Frederick Archer is most well known for his single achievement that made photography available for the general public. This achievement is called the "Wet Plate Collodion Process" published in The Chemist in 1848. In publishing this article he knowingly didn't patent it and gave this discovery as a gift the the rest of the world. Archer later became a sculptor using photography as a very useful way t capture the images of subjects. Sadly because he did not patent his process he made very little money off of it and died impoverished.
