In 1885 Wilson Alwyn (1865-1931) from Vermont, became the first person to take photos of snow flakes, using a special set up. Here is some of his vast work.

Beautiful 😍, I mean, you know not one is alike but seeing the evidence up close is astonishing.

Snowflakes may be common, but these are the first ones to get a professional portrait session.
