Cyanotype botanical art with metallic ink drawing - Monstera retailer Adansonii Leaves by Marian Fannon Christian

retailer A unique, one of a kind cyanotype of Monstera Adansonii leaves, also known as Swiss Cheese Plant. I have embellished the image by hand drawing in gold, silver and pink metallic inks. Created on beautiful Bockingford watercolour paper. This is not a giclee print, it is an original cyanotype print.
It is offered unmounted or mounted ready for a 16x12 ins. frame of your choice. Please choose your option. Signed on reverse.

I have created this cyanotype using the traditional method.

In creating a cyanotype the final result is determined by many factors such as the time of day, when the position and power of the sun varies, the temperature and humidity, the mix of chemicals, the type of paper used and the length of development. No two are ever the same. That's what makes it exciting for me even after years of creating them!

The Cyanotype process was developed by Sir John Herschel in the 1840's and shortly after used by the pioneering female early photographer Anna Atkins. A method of photography using sunlight without the use of a camera.
