Hailed as the first female photographer (and first to publish a book of photographs), Victorian botanist Anna Atkins made stunning cyanotypes (blueprints) of hundreds of different plants. This box of Sunprint Notecards includes twelve of Atkins' contact photograms of algae, ferns, and irises — in rich hues and stunning detail. Matching, mailable envelopes are printed on the inside with cyanotype images of the handwritten pages of Atkins's books. The name of the artwork and series are printed on the back of each card. A perennially perfect gift — these art notecards from Princeton Architectural Press arrived on our shelves in our very first year of business, about a decade ago. These timeless cards are still affordable, and still ideal for Secret Santa gifts, housewarmings, and office birthdays. Show more
