The cyanotype process was the first succesfull non silver based photographic process. It was invented by Sir John Herschel in 1842(4 years after the invention of photography). His neighbour Anna Atkins an English botanist used the process to record cyanotype photogram images of algae and she self published a book of them in 1843. I made this print earlier this year at a weekend workshop making prints for the Peppergreen Farm display. The workshop was run by Julie Millowick at Latrobe Uni. I would like more detail in the plant but you get what you get,no second chance!
