Jackdaw Print

'Jackdaw' cyanotype print by Fiona Hamilton.
Printed on Fabriano printmaking paper.
Paper measures 17.5cm x 25cm.
Signed, titled and numbered by the artist.
Second edition of 100.

This original limited edition cyanotype print depicts a jackdaw on a post. It is taken from an original photograph by Fiona and is reproduced in a dark blue, pure cyanotype print with a pale yellow-grey background from the developing process. 

The cyanotype emulsion is painted on by hand, so small variations in the edition will occur. Variations will include the brushstrokes, the darkness of the blue and the background staining. Fiona currently uses an exposure unit to expose so the quality of the prints is exceptional and better than in the image.

Cyanotype is a type of cameraless photography using light sensitive emulsion and is often used in printmaking.
