"Aspidium Goldianum (America)" is a cyanotype photogram by Anna Atkins, an English botanist and photographer, recognized as one of the first women to create a photograph. This work is part of Atkins' seminal publication "Photographs of British Algae: Cyanotype Impressions," which is considered the first book illustrated exclusively with photographic images. Created in the mid-19th century, Atkins' cyanotypes are a fusion of scientific documentation and visual art, showcasing her skill in capturing the intricate details of botanical specimens.

The cyanotype process, invented by Sir John Herschel in 1842, involves placing objects on light-sensitive paper and exposing it to sunlight, resulting in a characteristic blue print. Atkins adopted this technique to create detailed images of algae and ferns, among other plant specimens. "Aspidium Goldianum (America)" features the fern species Goldie's wood fern, scientifically known as Dryopteris goldiana, which is native to North America. The image is a striking example of Atkins' work, capturing the delicate structure of the fern's fronds and contributing to the intersection of art and science during the Victorian era.

Anna Atkins' contribution to photography and botany is significant, as she combined her scientific knowledge with the emerging art of photography to create a comprehensive visual record of botanical specimens. Her work has been celebrated for its aesthetic beauty and precision, and "Aspidium Goldianum (America)" exemplifies her pioneering role in the use of photographic techniques for scientific illustration. The cyanotypes of Anna Atkins, including this piece, are not only important historical artifacts but also continue to inspire contemporary artists and photographers.
