A is for Anna Atkins



Anna Atkins 
(1799 - 1871)

Ms, Atkins was a botanist and is considered the first female photographer.  She is thought to be the first to publish a book using photograms as illustrations, a type of image created using light and special paper. 

The images are also quite beautiful.
