In 1843, Botanist Anna Atkins published the first book ever to be illustrated with photographs. Photographs of British Algae: Cyanotype Impressions documented species of algae in ethereal, blue splendor. Its author was as pioneering as the book she published; Atkins is now widely recognized as the first female photographer. #annaatkins #inspiration #labyrinth #silktwill #bandana #blue #madeinfrance #fringe #luxury #silk #scarflover #foulardseason #foulardsoie #silkscarf #soie #foulardensoie #carreensoie (at Paris, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkqtJjaM-56/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Anna Atkins

One of the first female photographers was also a botanist. Although she did not attend college, Anna Atkins (16 March 1799 – 9 June 1871) received her scientific education from her chemist father John George Children. As an adult, she pursued her curiosity about plants by collecting and drying specimens of land plants and seaweed which she used to create educational and artistic “photograms” using cyanotype photographic paper. She self-published the book containing photographic illustrations, entitled “ Photographs of British Algae: Cyanotype Impressions” in 1843. She was also elected as a member of the London Botanical Society.

Miriam Rothschild

Curiosity about nature and collecting came naturally to Miriam Rothschild ( 5 August 1908 – 20 January 2005)– after all she was the niece of the eccentric Lionel Walter Rothschild who created a natural history museum stuffed with specimens from around the world at Tring in the UK. Her long and eventful life included campaigning for the rights of animals, children, people with mental illness, and LGBTQ people as well as innovative scientific research on entomology, particularly chemical ecology and mimicry. Her botanical connection is her research on how Monarch butterfly larvae’s toxicity is derived from chemicals in the milkweed which they feed on.

"What is photography for? In what situations? In answer to whose desire to see?  To see what? In order to do what? When? Is it really about seeing something or about doing something else through a photograph?  What else?  Something with others or with ourselves?" - Lyle Rexer, "Ways of Waiting" We are happy to announce that our new monograph is finally available: "The World's First Photobook was Blue" 📘 Editors: @irastehmann, @themthemthemthem and @ibasho___gallery Writer: @lylerexer Designers: @studio_des_signes Printing house:@robstolk.amsterdam Thank you all! We wanted to create a book not about what we do or how we do it, but why we do it. A book without a beginning or and end, without a specific cover (that is why this book has three), and where the text talks about why we photograph and not about the images per se. The title is a nod to Anna Atkins, the binding a nod to Brassaï and the entire book is a homage to this deceptively simple but really complex medium which is photography.

#Herstory #UnDiaComoHoy #AnnaAtkins (Tonbridge, Kent, 16 de marzo de 1799 -9 de junio de 1871) fue una #botánica inglesa. Es considerada la primera mujer #fotógrafa ​y fue la primera persona en publicar un libro ilustrado exclusivamente con imágenes fotográficas, “Fotografías de las algas británicas: Impresiones Cianotipos”, publicado en 1843. Anna Atkins nació en Tonbridge, Kent, y su madre murió durante el parto. ​Su padre, John George Children, ​fue un químico, minerólogo y zoólogo, distinguido por el mineral childrenita y la pitón de Children australiana (Antaresia childreni), a los que se les dio su nombre. La figura de su padre fue clave en la conquista de la experimentación y la innovación. John Herschel, un amigo de Atkins y de su padre, inventó el proceso fotográfico de #cianotipia en 1842. Atkins aplicó el proceso para resolver las dificultades de realizar dibujos precisos de especies científicas y editó la primera entrega de Fotogramas de cianotipos de algas. Solo se hicieron unas tres copias del libro, una de las cuales se encuentra en el National Media Museum en Bradford, Inglaterra. Continuó publicando otras entregas de la serie #BritishAlgae, además de otros libros como Cianotipias de las Plantas con Flores y Helechos Británicos y Extranjeros (1854).​ El trabajo en conjunto con su padre, la botánica, la fotografía y el dibujo, ​lograron conseguir un trabajo minucioso, perfecto y precioso. Su trabajo fue el primer intento de plasmar imágenes de la forma más objetiva posible, traspasando el ámbito científico hasta hoy, y logrando ser un aporte a las artes y la estética. — Wikipedia #efemérides #pionera #cientificas #mujeresyciencia #womeninscience #educarenigualdad #educarenfeminismo #schooloffeminism https://www.instagram.com/p/CbKGp8_jh31/?utm_medium=tumblr

🔵Hoy rendimos homenaje a la que está considerada como la primera mujer fotógrafa. 📸 Anna Atkins fue una botánica inglesa del XIX que hizo de la #cianotipia su medio principal para captar imágenes de plantas, helechos y flores. 🌼Resultaban más reales que las ilustraciones botánicas y gracias a ella conservamos testigos de especies muy diferentes. 🟦 Estas son algunas de las impresiones en cianotipia que hice con plantas, hojas y flores en un día de campo. 🔷Vamos a divertirnos 😃 . . #jaimitude #cianotipia #cianotype #AnnaAtkins #cianotipos #photo #blue #colour #bleu #nature #design #cianotipias https://www.instagram.com/p/CRInSZ0BrT-/?utm_medium=tumblr

Happy birthday to the English botanist Anna Atkins, who was born today in 1799. As well as being considered by many to be the very first woman to create a photograph, her stunning 1843 book of algae cyanotypes is thought to be the very first book illustrated with photographic images.

Anna Atkins (1799-1871) was an English photographer and botanist distinguished for her early use of photography in scientific studies. Born in Kent - England - and daughter of a scientist and Royal Society Fellow, Atkins had an early scientific education, which was quite unusual at a time when women were frequently excluded from the scientific world. Atkins became interested in botany and photography's evolving technology as a means of preserving her observations. She learned both “photogenic drawing” and the calotype method from William Henry Fox Talbot, but it was the work she developed with the cyanotype method of Herschel, that she’s best known for. Using this method, Atkins self-published the first photographically illustrated book ever — Photographs of British Algae: Cyanotype Impressions. This book is a collection of plant life — particularly algae studies — truly represented in its original shape and size. This printing method enabled Anna to visually document plants and natural specimens in incredible detail. Anna Atkins’s pioneering work established photography as an accurate medium for scientific illustration.
