    Cyanotype is a photographic printing process developed in 1842 where ultraviolet light causes a chemical reaction in a photosensitive solution, resulting in a cyan-blue print. It was originally intended for reproducing notes but was brought to photography by botanist Anna Atkins, who created reference books documenting plants using the cyanotype process.

    Cyanotype a photographic printing

    process wherein ultraviolet light (such as sunlight) causes a chemical reaction with a photosensitive solution which results in a cyan-blue print.

    The cyanotype process was developed by the English scientist and astronomer John Herschel in 1842, though he considered it as mainly a means of reproducing notes and diagrams, as in blueprints.

    It was Anna Atkins who brought this to photography. She was a botanist who created a limited series of reference books documenting algae, ferns, and other plant life
