Welcome to Hazleton Art- Botanical Cyanotype Photograms, handmade in Hampshire.
Cyanotype is a camera-less photographic technique, that produces a distinct ‘Prussian Blue’ colour print (Photogram) The process was discovered in 1842 by Sir John Herschel, as a means for reproducing drawings and diagrams (Blueprints). Botanist Anna Atkins in the late 19th century was the first to document seaweed and plants using this technique.

Some notes from the Essex Gardens Trust- Thank you.
In the south of France, the 'Mimosa' trees grow wild, covering the granite hills that run down to the coast, there is a ‘Route du Mimosa’, it travels through several towns and ends at the perfume capital Grasse, where the great perfume houses use Mimosa, known as Cassie, as an ingredient in many popular perfumes.
The most commonly found species of Mimosa growing in the area is the widely known Acacia dealbata – the Florists Mimosa. It originates from the south-eastern corner of Australia and it is thought that it was discovered and collected by Joseph Banks on Captain James Cook's voyage to Australia from 1768 to 1771.
Later in the early nineteenth century it was brought to the Côte d’Azur by the wealthy British who were colonising the area with grand holiday homes and fabulous gardens.
