American School, 19th century
Flowers of the Sea An album of seaweed specimens; Herbarium of foraged pressed and mounted seaweed and sea moss specimens from the American Pacific and North Atlantic coast from New York City to Nantucket
1884. A unique quarto 15 x 12 1/2 inches 382 x 318 mm; 30 double-sided sheets containing approximately 80 preserved specimens of seaweed and sea mosses which are individually dried mounted to card stock and tipped-in; each with the genus in Latin and the date and location of collection handwritten in pencil in the lower mount. Approximately 1 to 5 specimens per page. Binding is broken and significantly worn with some pages loose. Specimens are intact and separated by blotting paper and remain in very good to excellent condition with some exhibiting only minor losses. <br /> <br /> While seaweed collecting was a popular Victorian pastime in Britain this rare herbarium is filled with a profusion of north American specimens primarily from Bay Ridge Brooklyn to Nantucket island as well as some from California and Bermuda. In the Victorian era seaweed collecting or algology was far more than a casual beach activity; it was a massive cultural trend that married scientific curiosity artistic expression and social freedom. While the Victorians were obsessed with all things natural history a trend called "natural theology" seaweed held a unique appeal especially for women. While studying animal anatomy was seen as "unladylike" at the time collecting seaweed was considered a genteel and healthy outdoor activity. As a result several women used the opportunity to make significant scientific contributions.<br /> <br /> Often called "Ocean Flowers" or "Sea Mosses" these specimens became the focus of elaborate scrapbooks and pioneered some of the world's first photographic techniques Anna Adkins's Produced Photographs of British Algae: Cyanotype Impressions 1843 was the first book ever illustrated with photographs. Today these Victorian albums are more than just relics of a cultural fad; they are vital biological records. Scientists utilize the DNA from these 150-year-old pressed samples to track how ocean temperatures and species distributions have changed since the Industrial Revolution.<br /> <br /> Creating a seaweed album was a meticulous process. Collectors didn't just dry the weeds; they "resurrected" them to look alive on the page. This album demonstrates the incredible skill of the maker. unknown
