"Gelidium corneum, var. pinnatum" is a cyanotype print from Anna Atkins's groundbreaking book "Photographs of British Algae: Cyanotype Impressions". Created between 1851 and 1855, this image showcases Atkins's pioneering use of the cyanotype process, a photographic technique she used to document and classify algae. The intricate detail of the seaweed specimen, rendered in vivid blue and white, highlights Atkins's scientific precision and artistic sensitivity.
