In this new edition of Cyanotypes of British and Foreign Ferns, each image has been faithfully reproduced in a dazzling tribute to the intersection where art meets science. Review "The difficulty of making accurate drawings of objects so minute... has induced me to avail myself of Sir John Herschels beautiful proofs of cyanotype, to obtain impressions of the plants themselves, which I have much pleasure in offering to my botanical friends."-Anna Atkins, 1843 "If the photograph in its early and imperfect scientific state was more consonant to our feelings for art, it is because... it was more true to our experience of Nature. Mere broad light and shade, with the correctness of general forms and absence of all convention, which are the beautiful conditions of photography... give artistic pleasure of a very high kind."-Lady Elizabeth Eastlake, 1857 Details ISBN1528721640 Author Emily Gillis Publisher Read Books Year 2023 ISBN-13 9781528721646 Format Paperback Publication Date 2023-09-25 Imprint Read Books Place of Publication Alcester Country of Publication United Kingdom Audience General UK Release Date 2023-09-25 Pages 128 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
