The Bluest of Blues: Anna Atkins and the First Book of Photographs by Fiona Robinson

informative inspiring reflective relaxing slow-paced

5.0

Anna Atkins was the first woman (so far as we know) to take a photograph. She was a pioneer scientist, botanist, and photographer. Her mother died when Anna was an infant, and she and her father had a close relationship; he cultivated her love of nature and exploration. This picture book is absolutely beautiful and does great honor to Anna Atkins.
