EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the delicate beauty of Lastrea dilatato, a fern species native to Britain. The image was captured by the talented British photographer Anna Atkins, who lived from 1799 to 1871. Collaborating with Anne Dixon, another skilled artist from England (1799-1877), Atkins created this mesmerizing cyanotype in 1853. The photograph measures approximately 25.4 cm by 19.5 cm (10 inches by 7 and 11/16 inches), allowing viewers to appreciate every intricate detail of the fern's fronds. Cyanotype, a photographic printing process that produces stunning blue-toned images, was utilized to bring out the ethereal qualities of Lastrea dilatato. Anna Atkins is renowned for her pioneering work in botanical photography and is considered one of the first female photographers in history. Her dedication and passion for capturing nature's wonders through her lens have left an indelible mark on the art form. This particular print serves as a testament to both Atkins' technical skill and her deep appreciation for flora indigenous to Britain. It invites us into a world where science meets artistry, where each delicate curve and vein on the fern's leaves tells its own story. As we admire this exquisite piece from the Liszt Collection, let us be reminded of Anna Atkins' groundbreaking contributions to photography and celebrate her legacy as an influential figure in both scientific documentation and artistic expression.
