Anna Atkins, a pioneer of photography, created this cyanotype image of a seaweed species titled *Fucus æruginosus Turner / "Red Sea. Lisbon"/ New to Britain* circa 1843–1853. Atkins's *Photographs of British Algae: Cyanotype Impressions* used the cyanotype process to create photo-realistic images of seaweeds, contributing to the development of photography as a scientific tool and capturing intricate details of nature in blue and white.
