He gave her a scientific education, which was highly unusual for women and girls in the early 19th century. Fascinated with the plant life around her, Anna became a botanist. She recorded all her findings in detailed illustrations and engravings, until the invention of cyanotype photography in 1842. Anna used this new technology in order to catalogue plant specimens—a true marriage of science and art. In 1843, Anna published the book \u003ci\u003ePhotographs of British Algae: Cyanotype Impressions\u003c\/i\u003e with handwritten text and cyanotype photographs. It is considered the first book of photographs ever published. Weaving together histories of women, science, and art, \u003ci\u003eThe Bluest of Blues\u003c\/i\u003e will inspire young readers to embark on their own journeys of discovery and creativity. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPRODUCT DETAILS : \u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003ctable\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eISBN : 9781419725517 \u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eBY (AUTHOR) Robinson, Fiona \u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePUBLISHER : Abrams  \u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd\u003ePUBLICATION DATE : February 12, 2019 \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCOUNTRY OF PUBLICATION : United States \u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd\u003eIMPRINT : Abrams Books for Young Readers \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLANGUAGE : English \u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd\u003eAGE : From 6 to 9 years \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003ePRODUCT FORM : Hardback \u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003c\/table\u003e\n    DIMENSION : 312 mm x 236 mm \u003cbr\u003eWEIGHT : 520 g \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePRODUCT CATEGORY :\u003cbr\u003e    \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bookazine-hong-kong.myshopify.com\/collections\/Children-s-Teenage-Educational\"\u003eChildren’s, Teenage \u0026amp; Educational\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Robinson, Fiona","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49593645138197,"sku":"9781419725517","price":200.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0272\/7087\/3174\/files\/The_Bluest_of_Blues_Anna_Atkins_and_the_First_Book_of_Photographs_9781419725517.jpg?v=1764920800","url":"https:\/\/bookazine.com.hk\/products\/the-bluest-of-blues-anna-atkins-and-the-first-book-of-photographs","provider":"Bookazine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
