This download includes five high-quality Anna Atkins–inspired cyanotype images, plus an accompanying information sheet introducing her work and significance.
Anna Atkins (1799–1871) was a British botanist and is widely recognised as one of the earliest photographers, using the cyanotype process to document plant specimens in the 1840s.
Ready to print and easy to use, these images are ideal for inspiring classroom discussion, supporting art analysis, and introducing students to cyanotypes as a meeting point between art, science, and observation.
If you are interested in Cyanotypes, you’ll love my online ‘Introduction to Cyanotypes‘ and my ‘How to Make a UV Ligh Box‘ courses.

I set up The Arty Teacher because I have a passion for my subject that I want to share with other art teachers around the world.
I have been a high school art teacher for over 20 years, so I understand what it’s like to be in front of a class of students, often with very different abilities and attitudes.
I wanted to develop resources that would help teachers to bring out the best in every student in every class. I also wanted to free-up staff from time-consuming lesson preparation to let them focus instead on delivering exciting, motivating, dynamic lessons, supported by excellent resources.
