Cyanotype negative photogram of algae specimens. Three further variants of this composition are reproduced in Larry Schaaf, 'Sun gardens. Victorian photograms by Anna Atkins' (Aperture, New York, 1985), p. 33. All are watermarked 1848 and are there dated 1848-49. The British Library cyanotype is on unwatermarked paper, but uses the same specimens and was clearly produced with these other examples.
