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.
I live this set as I like to give gift and send postcards to my friends. It's perfect for it. Blue color with historic cyanotype of the majestic Anna Atkins. It has 12 postcards in nice envelops. I always check all of them again before I choose one to send as they are all so precious.
