Sunprint Notecards: 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.
