Dear All,

Someone a few days ago, posted a note damning the Cyanotype process. Each
to his/her own of course, but they were not the first to dismiss this
simple but beautiful alternative technique.

Peter Henry Emerson has been quoted as stating ....."no one but a vandal
would print a landscape in red, or in Cyanotype." There are many other who
have voiced their condemnation. See Dr Mike Ware's excellent book on
Cyanotype (page 12) for further examples.

However, he who laughs last laughs longest!

Size for size, probably the most valuable jewel of an 'alternative print'
in the whole wide world is a poor old cyanotype.

                        Cheers .....Tony McLean.
