This set of three unframed 24 x 18 inch cyanotypes has sold but similar ones can be commissioned between April and October. That is before this species of tree loses much of its leaves.
These are hand-printed monotypes, one-of-kind cyanotypes. Cyanotypes are a kind of 19th century cameraless photographic process dating back to the 1840s. The chemicals used produce a blue and white image rather than a black and white one.
The process can be used to print photographs taken with a camera by using a giant plastic film negative or without negatives using solid objects such as plants to create a print of their shadows. There is no printing press, no ink, no etched copper plate nor carved wood block to be able to reproduce these images. Each is a unique monotype made using real plants.
