In a few months, the New York Stock Exchange will collapse, and a new generation of American photographers—Dorothea Lange and Walker Evans, among others—will soon capture the pain and uncertainty of those displaced by the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression. But in Rye, New Hampshire, a young girl is crouching on the shoreline, gathering flowers for a series of photographs inspired by some of the medium’s earliest explorers. She is working with photography at its most elemental—capturing sunlight on a sheet of paper washed with salts and fixed in water. Helen Chase Gage was born in Bronxville, New York, in 1917.

A Scientific Art Collaboration with Cornell University, New York.
Written by Annette Townsend, Natural History Artist, Designer, Maker, Cardiff. © Annette Townsend In November 2017 I attended the Cross-pollination, Revaluing Pollinators through Arts and Science Collaboration conference at Swansea College of Art.
The conference marked the end of a successful and pioneering project funded by both the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and the Arts Council of Wales, combining Art with Science to explore new insight into perceptions of the value of honeybees and wild pollinators. As an artist I’ve spent most of my career working alongside scientists on science communication projects and my current work focuses on the protection of nature and features pollinating insects, so the project was of great interest to me. Scott’s NYS Beekeeper Tech Team at Cornell had been conducting research to promote best management practices to improve honey bee health and reduce colony losses.
The final sculpture took several weeks to complete. Unexpected prints and drawings? Hans Sloane’s 'A Roll more than 10 ft long by one in width, containing colored drawings or impressions of various sorts of #leaves of plants', Add MS 5026 (partially unrolled) Propagating Eden: Uses and Techniques of Nature Printing in Botany and Art - Arts at Wave Hill. With Propagating Eden: Techniques of Nature Printing in Botany and Art, the International Print Center New York (IPCNY) and Wave Hill pay homage to the beauty of natural plant forms, pure and unadulterated, captured by artists and botanists past and present.
Nature printing is a name given to the technique of taking impressions from the surface of an organic form, such as a leaf, flower, feather, skin, shell, bone, or mineral. The process is suggested by nature herself, in fossil remains that reveal evidence of the origins of life and clues to the pathways of evolution. The human impetus to create self-prints can be as simple as a child’s finger painting, and as poignant and poetic an assertion of one’s presence in the world as the stenciled, silhouetted outlines of human hands found in prehistoric cave paintings—both gestures seeming to declare: “I was here.”

Nature printed by Henry Bradbury. Charles Darwin (1758-1778): Nature printing. This small volume of ‘nature printed’ leaves and flowers offers an intriguing insight into late eighteenth-century botany.
It belonged to Charles Darwin (1758-1778), the eldest son of Dr Erasmus Darwin (1731-1802), of Lichfield, Derbyshire (himself the grandfather of the Charles Darwin of the ‘theory of evolution’ fame). As a child, Charles had been interested in botany, and had travelled with a botanical tutor in France when nine years old. He either made or acquired the book the year he went up to Oxford University, labelling it number eighty-four in his library, and noting the year as 1774.
Charles left Oxford after a year to study medicine in Edinburgh. Isabella Gifford: The marine botanist. If you are generating a PDF of a journal article or book chapter, please provide title and author information.
