Happy birthday to botanist & photography trailblazer Anna Atkins (1799-1871), née Children!

Atkins’ mother died when she was still an infant, but she was close with her naturalist father & received a much more scientific education than was common for women in her time. Her 250 detailed engravings of shells were used to illustrate her father’s translation of Lamarck’s ‘Genera of Shells’; 🧵1/n

Happy birthday to Caroline Herschel (1750 – 1848) a trail blazing woman in #astronomy. Hers was a real life Cinderella story, where rather than marrying a prince, she made a life and career for herself. Marriage her expected role but she was deemed unmarriageable, since a childhood bout of typhus stunted her growth. Her mother thought she should train to be a servant, & purposely stood in the way of her learning French, or music,🧵

You might remember me mentioning that I currently participate in another exhibition at Wyrd #Strasbourg and as part of this exhibition, where all pieces have to be created by at least two artists, several of us filled a sketchbook together. I had the honour of doing the very first page and ofc I cheated a little and painted on black paper that I then glued/taped in there. 😄
