Sunprint Kit

Make photography type prints using sun and water, just like Anna Atkins (1799–1871), an early innovator in the history of photography. Sunprint kits encourage an interest in the photographic process using only sun, water, and a bit of imagination. Place this light sensitive paper in the sun and you can capture the image of whatever you place on it. Wash with water to make the image permanent. The New York Public Library preserves much of Anna Atkins’s original work, including an edition of her groundbreaking book Photographs of British Algae: Cyanotype Impressions. Explore her unique photographs through our digital collections. Recommended for ages 6 years and up.     Author: Rolf Sachsse Type: Hardcover Pages: 12 Dim: 4" x 4" Item Number: SUNSM
