Nettle cyanotype botanical

Nettle. Title: Nettle Cyanotype – Botanical Print A5 "The Simple Ones" Description: Unloved, never ordinary. The nettle and its serrated leaves have nourished soups, gardens, and spring herbal teas for centuries. This unvarnished portrait gives it the place it deserves: that of a precious plant in peasant knowledge. Original cyanotype on 300 g/m² paper. A5 format: 14.8 × 21 cm. Ready to frame (frame not included) Care instructions: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and humidity. An acid-free mat is recommended for framing. The process: Cyanotype is an ancient photographic process, invented in 1842 by John Herschel and popularized by Anna Atkins in her herbariums. The paper is sensitized by hand, exposed to sunlight or UV light, then rinsed with water: Prussian blue appears and the plant stands out in white. Each sheet is handmade, so slight variations in shade and edges make each piece unique.
