He gave her a scientific education, which was highly unusual for women and girls in the early 19th century. Fascinated with the plant life around her, Anna became a botanist. She recorded all her findings in detailed illustrations and engravings, until the invention of cyanotype photography in 1842. Anna used this new technology in order to catalogue plant specimens-a true marriage of science and art. In 1843, Anna published the book \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003ePhotographs of British Algae: Cyanotype Impressions\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e with handwritten text and cyanotype photographs.
