Taschen | Atkins, Cyanotypes (FFE)

During the Victorian era, Anna Atkins conducted an innovative experiment at her open-air laboratory in Halstead, Kent. Using a new artistic medium, she documented various botanical species through striking cyanotype photograms of algae and ferns in a book that blends art and science. This edition presents a comprehensive collection of over 550 cyanotype impressions from multiple sources, including the New York Public Library and J. Paul Getty Museum. Along with introductory essays by Peter Walther, this volume honours Atkins' groundbreaking contributions and places her work within its scientific and art-historical significance.
