Anna Atkins

Anna Atkins Cyanotype Skateboard Deck

Anna Atkins (1799–1871) was a pioneering British photographer and botanist who produced the first book ever illustrated with photographs. Her groundbreaking series, Photographs of British Algae: Cyanotype Impressions, used sunlight and iron salts to capture delicate plant forms in vivid Prussian blue. Today, she’s celebrated as the first female photographer and a visionary who merged science and art.

This custom-printed skateboard deck features one of Atkins’ original cyanotype images—carefully adapted and preserved in high-resolution. The result is a striking piece of functional art that honors her legacy in a completely modern format.

Whether you’re a skater, art collector, or photography enthusiast, this deck celebrates the timeless brilliance of Anna Atkins—reimagined for the street, gallery, or wall.
