  6. Feb 18, 2011 · Introduction to the cyanotype process. Invented by Sir John Herschel in 1841, this simple process produces a continuous tone image of Prussian Blue using a sensitizing solution of ferric ammonium citrate and potassium ferricyanide. These iron salts, when exposed to natural or artificial ultraviolet light, are reduced to their ferrous state ...
