Original cyanotype: early Indiana settler
$45.00
This is an original cyanotype made from a photograph of an early Indiana settler, printed on a young woman's letter to her fiancé in the 1960s. The man in the photograph is one of my 4th great grandfathers. He moved from England to Indiana around 1830 and he had a flour mill. He was really good at giving a steely stare. The paper has been toned with coffee.
• This is an original, signed, one-of-a kind print
• Comes mounted with a white mat, ready to fit an 8x10 inch frame
• Image size: 4.5x6.5 inches
• Sold unframed
Cyanotype is a photographic process invented in 1842. Non-toxic, light-sensitive solution is brushed on paper. Negatives or objects are placed on the paper and then exposed in the sun. The paper is then rinsed with water, resulting in a distinctive blue image. The results vary depending on the exposure time and the conditions of the day.
I try to photograph the colors as accurately as possible, but they may appear differently due to the color calibration of your device or monitor.
To preserve the life of your print, do not place it in direct sunlight. If fading from direct sunlight occurs, place the print in a dark place for a few days to regain its original vibrancy.
