The story of making a photographically illustrated book that contains an overview of all species of Dutch algae through cyanotypes, in the spirit of Anna Atkins.

"The difficulty of making a photographically illustrated book that contains an overview of all species of Dutch algae through cyanotypes, has compelled me to write to you. Blue pages with intricate images have haunted me from the moment I first encountered one of your extraordinary books on British algae."

"For classification may seem technological and rational, whilst nature primarily evokes the emotional and poetic. Yet, there is beauty to be found in classification."

"Since I last wrote to you, two years ago, I have been able to expand the herbarium. At the time of writing it contains 74 different species. Yet somehow the project seems to be in an in-between phase."

Welcome to my herbarium of Dutch Algae. Here, you'll find a collection of unique and beautiful specimens that showcase the diversity of algae found in the Netherlands.
