This is a cyanotype of a very old doll from my wife's collection. She is made of bisque and is very old and delicate and I think that this old process complements her very well. The exposure was made in shaded daylight with a large format Gandolfi camera that produces a 5 x 7 inch negative. This negative was then sandwiched with a sheet of good quality watercolour paper that I had handcoated earlier and left to air dry. As it was a very sunny day, the antique printing frame I use was left in the sun and periodically checked to see how the image was printing-out. This particular negative is quite dense and the exposure took about 25 minutes.

The actual print is much more detailed than the scan because of the small file size involved in webpage creation.
