About this Product
A cyanotype, also known as a blueprint (i.e., blueprints) is a process wherein specific types of paper are coated with chemicals and then processed using sunlight or ultraviolet light. This small print is a one-of-a-kind in that I hand coat the paper, process it in sunlight, and finish it in my darkroom. The image is then dried and the edges hand torn. Each image created varies from others based on where the chemical is spread onto the paper and the amount of light received. This particular image is of the entrance sign to Pirates of the Caribbean in Disneyland. Perfect for framing in a 5x7 frame or shadowbox. The image will be signed on the reverse. Purchase several different signs and showcase them in a multi-unit frame. A perfect gift for Disneyland fans and/or Disney collectors! Free shipping in the United States on your order!

How it’s Made
The Cyanotype process was invented by Sir John Herschel in 1842; this happened three years after the discovery of photography. Sir Herschel needed a way to reproduce notes and diagrams. He probably never envisioned its use as a photographic process; that fell to Anna Atkins, who took the process and adapted it so she could record specimens of algae found in the British Isles. The process she used is called a photogram, or shadowgraphs. Now I use this process to produce one-of-a-kind prints.
