About the cyanotype process:
Cyanotypes have been around since 1842. To make a cyanotype light sensitive iron salts are brushed onto a substrate which is then exposed to sunlight. The UV radiation in sunlight causes a reaction that makes the iron solution turn blue and become insoluble in water. The substrate is then washed. Any areas that were blocked from sunlight will wash out, in essence capturing the shadow of the object that blocked the light.
The cyanotype is unmounted and unframed. Ships in a protective plastic sleeve with backing board.
