These are two unframed botanical monotypes. This species of tree is a Dancing Peacock Full Moon Japanese Maple or in Latin, acer japonicum aconitifolium. The actual Japanese name is Mai Kujaku.

Our cyanotypes are made by coating high-quality Italian watercolor paper with a light-sensitive emulsion. We then expose it in direct sunlight for several minutes using a photo negative...
