Cyanotypes
Period
of Use:1840 - 1915
Cyanotypes
can be easily identified by their brilliant blue color. Printed on a high
grade of paper and lacking in chemical complexity, cyanotypes are very
hardy and stable.
Cyanotypes
could be easily produced by
amateurs at home (exposed to sunlight and
washed in rainwater) and were often mounted in albums. The ease of this
process caused a wave of popularity at the turn of the century.
