植物学蓝图
处于19世纪摄影前沿的女性先驱者
在维多利亚时代的黎明，安娜·阿特金斯在她位于肯特郡霍尔斯特德的露天实验室里，开始了一项激进的实验，用一种全新的艺术媒介记录植物物种。她创作的藻类和蕨类植物的独特蓝晒印相被制成了第一本以摄影图像为特色的书籍。这些相册引人注目而又空灵，是艺术和科学的理想结合。
尽管蓝晒工艺是由她的朋友约翰·赫歇尔（John Herschel）发现的，但阿特金斯是第一个意识到其在植物学和分类学方面的实际用途，以及其耐人寻味的艺术潜力的。这一过程涉及到将物体固定在感光纸上并直接暴露在阳光下，从而产生普鲁士蓝色颜料，持久地形成这些艺术作品的背景。
阿特金斯的专辑《英国海藻》（1843-1853）和《英国和外国蕨类植物的蓝晒印相》（1853）是非常罕见的作品，后者是与她的朋友安妮·狄克逊（Anne Dixon）一起制作的。这里首次完整地重新印刷了她的这些专辑，展现了她对多个学科的掌握：蓝晒工艺使阿特金斯能够应对准确表现的挑战，而标本的精致轮廓，在强烈的蓝色背景之上，使这些图像具有永恒的美学吸引力。
这个版本广泛借鉴了纽约公共图书馆和J·保罗·盖蒂博物馆的副本，从多个来源精心汇编了蓝晒印相，完整地重印了阿特金斯的开创性作品。超过550幅蓝晒印相伴随着彼得·瓦尔特（Peter Walther）的一系列介绍性文章，将阿特金斯的作品置于其科学和艺术历史背景中，并向这位女性先驱的开创性贡献致以应有的敬意。

Botanical Blueprints
The female pioneer at the cutting edge of 19th-century photography
At the dawn of the Victorian era in her open-air laboratory in Halstead, Kent, Anna Atkins embarked on a radical experiment to document botanical species using a completely new artistic medium. The inimitable cyanotype photograms of algae and ferns she created were made into the first books to feature photographic images. Striking yet ethereal, these albums are a perfect synthesis of art and science.
Although the cyanotype technique was discovered by her friend John Herschel, Atkins was the first to realize both its practical purpose for own her interests in botany and taxonomy, and its intriguing artistic potential. The process, which involved fixing the object on sensitized paper and exposing it directly to sunlight, results in the Prussian blue pigment that forms the unmistakeable backdrop to these artworks.
Atkins' albums British Algae (1843–1853) and Cyanotypes of British and Foreign Ferns (1853), the latter of which was produced with her friend Anne Dixon, are works of remarkable rarity. Reprinted here in their entirety for the first time, they reveal her mastery of multiple disciplines: While the cyanotype process allowed Atkins to meet the challenges of accurate representation, the delicate contours of the specimens, set above the intense blue background, has lent the images a timeless aesthetic appeal.
This edition, drawing extensively from the copies of the New York Public Library and J. Paul Getty Museum, has carefully compiled cyanotypes from several sources to reprint Atkins' seminal works in full. Over 550 cyanotype impressions are accompanied by a series of introductory essays from Peter Walther, placing Atkins' work in its scientific and art-historical contexts and paying rightful tribute to the groundbreaking contributions of a female pioneer.
The author
