Product Description

Review
"I recommend this book, it should be on the shelves of every serious library of photography" -- Inscape, July 2001.

Product Description
This is the first published monograph on the cyanotype process. It describes the history, chemistry, conservation, aesthetics and practice of photographic printing in Prussian blue. The unpublished experimental memoranda of Sir John Herschel, inventor if the process, are interpreted to unfold his discovery of iron-based photography, including his various formulae for cyanotype. The chemistry of the process is explained for the non-specialist, and many experimental variations on blueprinting are described. This book should interest photohistorians, curators and conservators of photographs, photoscientists concerned with 'non silver' processes and photographic print-makers who wish to use cyanotype today as an expressive artistic medium.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extensive, informative covering all aspects of the blueprint, 25 Jan 2002
By ruthgreendesign@hotmail.com (Birmingham, England.) - See all my reviews
I never imagined that I would find a book on this subject, but I am so glad that I did! Mike Ware has thoroughly covered the technique and it's fascinating history. There are lots of tips on method and process, and indispensable lists of suppliers.
I have started using the technique for my design work, and this book has been used constantly in my studio.
