This species of tree is a Dancing Peacock Full Moon Japanese Maple or in Latin, acer japonicum aconitifolium. The actual Japanese name is Mai Kujaku. Cyanotypes are a kind of 19th century alternative (cameraless) photographic process.
While traditional cyanotypes are a navy blue background with sharp white silhouettes, this is a double exposure cyanotype. The two different shades of blue are created by exposing some parts of the light-sensitive paper to sunlight longer than others. The monochromatic multi-tone effect is rather like aquatint etchings.
All of Christine So's botanical cyanotypes are one-of-kind monotypes. There is no etched copper plate, no carved wood block, no printing press and no ink to be able to reproduce these images. There is no film negative either. Each is a unique, hand-printed lensless photograph made using real plants from her own garden or woods nearby
Ships rolled in an extra wide tube.
Hand-printed on 100% cotton watercolor paper with straight-cut edges, not deckled edges.
