Anna Atkins

Anna Atkins took photographs in the 1800s.  As a botanist she took photographs that showed the structure of plants.  I like that the pictures are so clear and arranged so the entire plant is seen which must have taken a lot of time back then.  The fact that the background is colored and the subject is white adds contrast which is also interesting.
