@msbellows collections have their origins in this accessibility of media and #knowledge outside the realms of the rich and the aristocracy. It was a time of curiosity and the emergence of #naturalists. And thanks to the widespread availability of media, these topics were now accessible to #women.
One of these famous female naturalists was Anna Atkins with her groundbreaking #Cyanotypes in 1843 https://publicdomainreview.org/essay/anna-atkins-cyanotypes/ - still important for #biodiversity research.
The Public Domain ReviewRhapsodies in Blue: Anna Atkins’ CyanotypesIn an era when the Enlightenment’s orderly vision of the natural world began to unravel, Anna Atkins produced the world’s first photography book: a collection of cyanotypes, created across a decade beginning in 1843, that captured algal forms in startling blue-and-white silhouettes. Paige Hirschey situates Atkins’ efforts among her naturalist peers, discovering a form of illustration that, rather than exhibit an artist’s mastery over nature, allowed specimens to “illustrate” themselves.
