St Giles Old Country Church Cyanotype

St Giles old country church, (now abandoned), Nottinghamshire, UK. Cyanotype from acetate negative on twice coated cereal packet card. This alternative to expensive watercolour paper gives lovely tones of royal blue and mottled 'grain'. I have no idea whether the print will deteriorate over time much sooner.... will know in a few years :-) Original photo taken using an adapted condenser lens from a Victorian Magic Lantern.

@vozac100posto Thank you very much, a humble, small country church. I think they are more beautiful than the grander buildings! :-)
