Vintage Photos help tell a story
30 Sep
Elsie served as part of the Women’s Land Army during WW l. Love this poster.
These images of leaves placed on cyanotype paper was a process that began in 1842. Rather like a “blue print” The paper was coated with chemicals and allowed to dry in the dark. Then plants were placed on the paper in the sun and this lovely blue background with an image of the plant appeared. This is one Elsie created over 100 years ago and it is still fabulous.
Read Elsie’s story and find out about this letter delivered to me on Palomar Mountain.
