Anna Atkins Cyanotype

1. This image is a picture of algae. The paper is blue and the algae is white with different shades of blue, it was made in 1843.
2. Anna Atkins' intentions were to show the imprints of the algae on that piece of paper using the light available to her. She had to place the algae directly on the the cyanotype paper
3 This image gives me a sense of nature and the water. I love how to algae gave it different tones of blue and how each algae is placed.
4. I love this picture because of the way she did it. She used simple things to make this image, and I think it turned out great.
