The Cyanotypes of Anna Atkins

Hailed as the first female photographer (and first to publish a book of photographs), Victorian botanist Anna Atkins made stunning cyanotypes blueprints of hundreds of different plants. Sunprint presents twelve of her contact photograms- of algae, ferns, and irises in rich hues and stunning detail. Matching envelopes are printed on the inside with cyanotype images of the handwritten pages of Atkins s books.
