Spiraea aruncus, Cyanotype, 1850s

Entitled: "Spiraea aruncus (Tyrol)" cyanotype by Anna Atkins, circa 1851-54. Botanical study is the first work by the British artist Anna Atkins. Spiraea Aruncus (Tyrol) is a superb example of Atkins's camera-less photograms of algae and plant specimens that the artist herself gathered or received from other amateur scientists. A continuation of the longstanding tradition of botanical illustration in all media, it is directly related to the earliest camera-less studies by Atkins's family friend William Henry Fox Talbot, the inventor of paper photography. The cyanotype process, invented in 1842 by Sir John Herschel, is also commonly known as the blue-print process used (until recently) by architects to duplicate their line drawings.
