(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Cyanotype is an old photographic procedure which typically admits a cyan-blue colour.
The English scientist and astronomer Sir John Herschel discovered this procedure in 1842. It uses two chemicals:
The developing of the picture takes place by flushing it with flowing water. The water-soluble Iron (II) salts are washed away, while the non-water-soluble Iron (III) salt crystalls remain in the paper. These give the picture its typical blue color.

| Thumbnail | Description & Credit |  | 19th Century cyanotype photographic print of an oil painting by R.S. Floyd, depicting CSS Florida chasing a merchant sailing ship, after having set another prize afire (in the right distance). This may depict the events of 10 July 1864, when Florida took four prizes off the Eastern Shore of Maryland: the bark General Berry, which was captured first and burned; the bark (not a ship as shown here) Zelinda, captured second and burned later in the day; the schooner Howard, which was bonded and released with prisoners from previous captures; and the steamer Electric Spark, which was scuttled during the following night.
