    Anna Atkins (1799-1871) was an English botanist and photographer. She used the calotype process, an early photographic process invented by William Henry Fox Talbot, to create photograms of plant specimens due to the difficulty of accurately drawing minute algae and plants. Atkins offered these photographic prints to her botanist friends as a way to document plant specimens.
