Self Review
The main feature that I like on my Cyanotypes it the un-keyringed key. I like the way it seems to have a leaf/feather connected to it. I also really like the coin with a center piece missing. Over all I believe the second one to be better than the first as I can clearly see what was going on.

The difficulty of making accurate drawings of objects so minute as many of the Algae and Confervae has induced me to avail myself of Sir John Herschel’s beautiful process of Cyanotype, to obtain impressions of the plants themselves, which I have much pleasure in offering to my botanical friends.
