Cyanotype is an alternative photographic printing process that produces a cyan-blue print. Engineers used the process well into the 20th century as a simple and low-cost process to produce copies of drawings, referred to as blueprints. Today artists lay various botanicals or other objects over specially treated paper that is then exposed to the sun. The areas covered sale (not exposed) stay the color of the paper during and after the development process.
