The Photogram



Photograms were created as part of the effort to invent a photographic printing plate, but became an artform in their own right.

"Sun prints" on light-sensitive paper saturated with silver-halides were first made by the Englishman Thomas Wedgewood in 1795-1800, and were further developed by William Henry Fox Talbot, who called his "camera-less" images "Photogenic Drawings."

In 1843, Anna Atkins used photograms to create a botanical reference titled British Algea: Cyanotype Impressions, which used sunlight, glass, and the cyanotype process to record the shapes of British marine flora. This is recognized as the first photographically illustrated book, and Anna is credited as the first female photographer.
