Anna Atkins Cyanotype Print - 24x36" / Natural Frame

Product information

The Anna Atkins Cyanotype Print celebrates the brilliant botanist who basically invented the coffee table book, except hers was blue and featured algae instead of celebrities. This infographic-style art print showcases several of Atkins' original cyanotype specimens alongside fascinating facts about the woman who pioneered photographic book production in the 1840s. Did you know she created the first book illustrated entirely with photographs, or that cyanotypes get their distinctive Prussian blue color from iron salts reacting to sunlight? With its rich blue tones and delicate botanical details, this print brings that same sense of scientific wonder that made Anna stop mid-Victorian era to say "I'm going to document every piece of seaweed I can find." Perfect for science lovers, photography enthusiasts, or anyone who appreciates the intersection of art and discovery.
