Discover the art of Cyanotype Printing aka ‘Sun Print’
What is a Cyanotype?
Cyanotype is a slow-reacting, economical photographic printing formulation where two chemicals are mixed together. They become light-sensitive and produce a cyan-blue print using UV light/ sunlight.
This process was invented by John Herschel in 1842. This process was used by botanist Anna Atkins in 1843 to create the very first book that had photographic illustrations, Photographs of British Algae: Cyanotype Impressions.
