About this Event
The Art of Science: Anna Atkins and the First Photographically Illustrated Book
with Corey Keller, Author and Former Curator of Photography at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
In 1843, Anna Atkins used a brand new technology, photography, to illustrate her book on British seaweed. Corey Keller, author of the recent biography Anna Atkins: Photographer, Naturalist, Innovator, will discuss the ways Atkins worked within and against the gender conventions of her day to break new ground in botanical illustration. Following the program, join Keller for an exclusive book signing.
