"Equisetum sylvaticum," Anna Atkins, 1853.

Atkins (1799-1871) was a botanist and photographer, often credited as the first woman to create a photograph, and the first person to publish a book illustrated with photographic images.

Atkin's book, "Photographs of British Algae" was done entirely in cyanotypes, an early form of photography where objects are placed on photosensitive paper and exposed to light. The shaded parts stay white, while the areas in the turned blue.

She later did other cyanotype books, one of flowers and another of ferns, from which this image is taken.

Atkins' husband John was a friend of early photographer William Talbot, and is known to have used a camera, but no documented photographs by her survive.

For the time this was very daring and avant-garde; usually botanic art was detailed drawings. Even today it works as modern art.
