Conservation of Cyanotypes
As with any photographic work of art, the cyanotype is fragile but resists time with care. This work of art continues being alive after it is created and responds to its environment (earth, water, air, light). Keep it away from direct sunlight, in a room without humidity.
If possible, it should be displayed in a room with modulated lighting and anti-UV glass at the same temperature. You can keep it in an art album. Direct wall hanging without any protection should be avoided.
Framing Suggestions
It is always recommended to frame cyanotypes with a solid frame and matted so that the print does not touch the glass and there is a small amount of oxygen within the frame. This helps to regenerate the print if it does fade slightly and stops the paper from being in direct contact with the glass which can cause issues if there is high humidity. There are other suitable methods such as float mounting, which is fine as long as the print doesn't come into direct contact with the glass.
Using UV resistant glass will help to prevent some fading but the glass is slightly coloured and this can affect the way the print will look behind the glass.
What is Cyanotype?
Cyanotype is one of the oldest photographic printing processes in the history of photography. It was introduced by the astronomer and scientist John Herschel in 1842.
Cyanotype photography is a camera-less technique that involves laying an object on paper coated with a light sensitive solution of iron salts before exposing it to UV light and washing with water to create stunning white and Prussian blue images.
The cyanotype is a real collaboration with the natural elements: the sun, the water, the air, and the earth.
