After working in London and Paris—where she studied with Man Ray and photographed Jean Cocteau, James Joyce and others—and creating her iconic 1930's images of New York, Abbott became photographic editor of Science Illustrated in 1944. In the late 1950's, she began to work as a photographer at MIT with scientists including Dr. Elbert P. Little, from whose collection the present set of photographs was acquired. Abbott provided photographs for the core textbook \u003ci style=\"\"\u003ePhysics\u003c\/i\u003e, used by millions of high-schoolers from the 1960's on. Her innovative and beautiful scientific photographs bring to light otherwise invisible phenomena: waves, parabolae, ellipses, force, and energy. Many were created with the help of photographic apparatus she designed herself.
