Cyanotype Photograph Postcards by Cole Caswell -Yellow Garage

Stunning cyanotype photographic postcards by Cole Caswell of Peaks Island, Maine.  Cole has been visiting Sabbathday Lake Shaker Village for many years, offering his tintype portrait services at Shaker Village special events.  We were honored when he has been able to make a special trip to work on a series of landscape tintype images of Shaker Village.  Using those tintypes images, he created negatives that were then used to print these cyanotype postcards.

Cyanotype is a process that utilizes UV (sunlight) to create prints. It is a photographic method that creates a cyan blue print using potassium ferricyanide & ammonium ferric citrate.

Each postcard measures approximately 4 x 6″ and is stamped on the back.

Each is an original print so variations in exposure can be expected, with some printing lighter or darker than others.  You can see the full scope of inventory of this particular print in the first image.  You will receive a postcard at random from this selection– if you have a preference for darker or lighter, please note it in the comments.

Cole received an interdisciplinary M.F.A. from the Maine College of Art, and has been working, living and traveling throughout the county in a nomadic format. He is an Adjunct Faculty Researcher at Prescott College in Arizona and Adjunct Faculty at Southern Maine Community College.
