Anna Atkins







































Anna Atkins was a photographer and botanist in the 19th century. She created books on Algae local to Britain and used the Cyanotype photo process to create pictures to accompany her written documentation. She is considered the first person to create/publish a book with photos as well as one of the first female photographers. This is most likely the reason her books start at $375 on Amazon, go figure!

You could do some real damage if someone ever tried! I also love Acne's use of the fat-face in their logo, which is printed beautifully (and largely) on their shopping bags:
