Ulva latissima 1851 - 1855

Anna Atkins, a pioneer in photography, created this cyanotype print of *Ulva latissima* between 1851 and 1855. Atkins's work, often displayed in albums, captured the intricate details of seaweed and other botanical specimens. This striking image showcases the delicate, translucent structure of the seaweed against a vibrant blue background. Atkins used the cyanotype process, a photographic technique that produces a characteristic blue-toned image.
