How the sun saw it - Silver Birch II

Cyanotype on Hahnemuhle Platinum Rag 300gsm.

The print is approximately 50 x 56 cm. It is mounted an A1 white matboard ready to frame in a standard A1 frame.

It was made by arranging layers of silver birch between glass sheets on top of paper coated with a photosensitive emulsion. This was then exposed to sunlight before being washed to reveal the final image.

Cyanotypes are archival and can last for more than a century, but are best displayed out of direct, strong sunlight. If they do begin to fade over the years, you can place them in the dark for a week or two and, like magic, they will regain their full colour. In a way they are a living memory of what the sun saw in a given moment in time!
