The photo book "Blue Prints" by Anna Atkins (1799-1871), a British botanist and photographer. Atkins is known as a pioneer of botanical photography, and is also known for publishing "Photographs of British Algae" in 1843, which is said to have been inserted for the first time. In 1842, Sir John Herschel, who was also a friend of Atkins, invented the classic technique of photography, sianotype (sunlight photography), and Atkins also used sianotype to capture dry algae and plants. I did. It is also called a blueprint because it is reflected as a shade of blue depending on the light and shade of light, but plants with a delicate structure that allows light to pass through appear as a very fantastic image. This book is a collection of works published by a German publisher, and although it is small in size, it contains 49 illustrations.
