The pictures in this collection are some of the earliest known portrait photographs to ever be taken. The subjects in the photos are older and no doubt wealthy, as photography…
* I'm not entirely certain that all of these are daguerreotypes; I'm really no expert on early photography. It's possible that some of these are examples of other techniques: ambrotypes, tintypes, etc.

This is an original cyanotype of wild garlic flowers and a branch of Japanese Spindle from my son's garden. It is created in the traditional manner on the finest quality Hahnemuhle Platinum paper and will fit straight into a 14 x 11 ins. frame with no mount required. It comes to you unmounted and unframed. In creating a cyanotype the final result is determined by many factors such ats the time of day, when the position and power of the sun varies, the temperature and humidity, the mix of chemicals, the type of paper used and the length of development. No two are ever the same. That's what makes it exciting for me even after years of creating them! The cyanotype process was developed by Sir John Herschel in the 1840’s and shortly after used by the pioneering female early photographer Anna Atkins. A method of photography using sunlight without the use of a camera. Please note that colours may vary slightly when viewed on different devices.

The word "photography" means "writing with light," but you don't need a camera or print film to practice the "photographic technique" of cyanotype…just our all-in-one Cyanotype Postcard Kit! Invented in the 1840s, cyanotype uses a chemical photo agent mixture to transform watercolor paper into paper that's sensitive to UV light. When you place an object, photo, or drawing on the treated paper and expose it to sunlight, the result is a spectacular "blueprint"—your image preserved in white on a field of Prussian blue. Created in the Netherlands, this boxed cyanotype kit contains all the tools you'll need to explore this unusual art form: two bottles of powdered photo agent (to be mixed with distilled water, not included), a measuring cup, a stirrer, a foam brush, a mixing cup, a 4½"x 6¾"x2" washing tray, twelve 4"x5¾" watercolor postcards, two pairs of plastic gloves, and an instruction booklet. What a cool way to send unique handmade art to special friends! Set of 12 do-it-yourself Cyanotype postcards Includes powdered photo agent, tools, and instruction booklet Fun gift for crafters!

I've been mildly obsessed with working class women from the mid 19th century lately. (You see how my interests are constantly changing?) In the last couple years I've really been getting more fascinated by the working class. I'm not exactly sure why. Perhaps there is something I can relate to with the working class of the 19th century over upper class society. I do love silks and pretty dresses just as much as any other girl, but there's also something I can't quite point out that I love so much about lower class women and their wardrobe. The other day I tried about a million searches online for images of working class women. You know how incredibly HARD it is to find images of the working class from the 1840s-60s period? It's mad hard. So any little image I found I'd get slightly obsessed over, then I'd go back to more google searching. haha. I found a few images I am very interested in. I'm not sure their origin. One of them looks like it could be from Europe somewhere. And then there's genre paintings to study, but then you can never be totally sure of paintings. There's always that chance the artist decided to "adjust" the scene he was painting. So we can't always be sure it's totally realistic. Unfortunately, actual photographs from the period are rare of working women. Of course there are tons of occupational images of men. At least there are more than women. So it's kind of a rip for us women. Well I'm still searching and hopefully somewhere along the line I will hit a jackpot and find a ton more photographs. I can hope! Wednesday I'll be heading out for Georgia! I'm totally psyched! I'm just not too fond of ticks and scorpions. I know, I'm a total wimp, but they gross me out. I don't like the thought of small creatures crawling on me and drinking my blood. And then the thought of a scorpion biting me, even if it's not poisonous...YUCK. Or waking up one morning with a scorpion on me. ew. Now I don't even know why I should be even the slight bit worried. I've slept in many-a-creature-insect-bat-filled area several times before in my life. Most of those times I probably had no idea there were creatures walking around me and yet I'm still alive. :) I should be scared of larger animals, but somehow I'm not really scared too much by those. Am I weird or what? I guess so. But all that aside, I'm still totally excited for the week! Me and the bugs will have a grand ole time--I'm sure of it! Btw, thanks for the comments in my last post! I haven't had a chance to respond to them yet. I've been so crazy busy trying to get sewing projects completed before I head off for the week. I'm so excited to be having a break. I think it's MUCH needed!

These stunning images are early photographs of some of the men who bravely fought for their country in the Revolutionary War some 237 years ago.
When Brady was born in 1768 the US were British colonies and George III was our King, Catherine the Great was on the throne of Russia, Frederick the Great ruled Prussia and Louis the XV of France never dreamed his son and pretty daughter-in-law would die on the guillotine someday. When Brady…
The daguerreotype was the process of development of photography which entered use in 1839 and quickly gained massive popularity in Europe. Invented by a
Anna Atkins, original name Anna Children, (born March 16, 1799, Tonbridge, Kent, England—died June 9, 1871, Halstead Place, Kent), English photographer and botanist noted for her early use of photography for scientific purposes. Anna Children, whose mother died soon after she was born, was involved from an early age in the scientific activities that occupied her father, John George Children. A respected scientist, he was secretary of the Royal Society and was associated with the British Museum. While in her early 20s, Atkins made drawings for her father’s translation of Jean-Baptiste de Monet Lamarck’s Genera of Shells (1823), but her
