Answer the following question in 3-4 complete sentences. Name the photograph above and its photographer. Explain the process with which it was created. What is this process commonly used for?

Answer:

This photograph is a botanical cyanotype, often identified as a cyanotype of plants, by Anna Atkins. To create it, Atkins placed plant specimens directly onto paper coated with light-sensitive chemicals and exposed the paper to sunlight. The areas covered by the plants remained pale while the exposed areas turned blue, producing a photogram. The cyanotype process is commonly used to make blueprints.
