Cyanotype Sun Print
Two fern fronds and a bobbin lace doily are laid on yellow-green coated paper under glass, the sun turns the open paper slate blue, and a rinse in an enamel tray clears the silhouettes to white with soft yellow blooms while the blue deepens to Prussian.

About this style
The cyanotype is a camera-free photographic print from 1842: paper brushed with iron salts is laid with objects, exposed to sunlight, and washed in water, which leaves Prussian blue wherever light reached and white wherever it did not. Anna Atkins used it for the first book illustrated with photographs, a study of algae, and botanists and textile makers took it up for pressed plants and lace. Today it is a favorite of printmakers and workshops because the process is visible from start to finish. As motion it carries a satisfying reveal, since the image only becomes blue and white in the water.
