Botanical Cyanotype of Shepherd's purse, original print

Original print made by hand through the ancient photographic technique of Cyanotype, using a real sprig of shepherd’s purse. It is therefore a unique and unrepeatable piece.

The cyanotype was made on 200g watercolor paper, and then mounted on a white lacquered wooden frame. This print is perfect for decorating the walls of your home and giving it a fresh, original, minimal and romantic touch at the same time. Or give this wall decoration to a loved one, they will feel as special and unique as the gift they receive! The Cyanotype can be easily hung on the wall thanks to the support hook located behind the frame.

Making Process

UNIQUE PIECES
Since we use real leaves and flowers to create cyanotypes, each piece is unique, original and unrepeatable, as are the plants used. And that is what makes our products special!

HAND-MADE OBJECTS
Each cyanotype was produced by us and is part of a series dedicated to Anna Atkins, an English botanist and photographer who first used cyanotype to spread the natural sciences. By attempting to capture the fleeting beauty and simplicity of wild plants, we want to honor Anna and all the early women scientists who too often go unremembered.

PROCESS
Cyanotype is an ancient photographic technique in which, thanks to sunlight, each object placed on paper or fabric leaves behind the white imprint of its shape, against a distinctive Prussian blue background. Each print is unique and unrepeatable, as the arrangement of the objects, the light conditions, and the texture of the wet chemicals are variables that cannot be replicated.
