How to create Photo Prints using only Beetroot Juice - Anthotype

  • An anthotype is an image created using photosensitive material from plants. This process was originally invented by Sir John Herschel in 1842. An emulsion is made from crushed flower petals or any other light-sensitive plant, fruit or vegetable. A coated sheet of paper is then dried. Place some material, for example leaves or a transparent photo positive on the paper and expose to direct full sunlight until the image part not covered by the material is bleached out by the sun rays. The color remains in the shadowed parts. The paper remains sensitive against such rays.

    This wasn’t discovered by Herschel- it was discovered by Mary Somerville who described the process to him in a letter which he published in 1845.
    Very beautiful anthotype, but just want to make sure women inventors, artists, and scientists get the credit they deserve!

    I'm having a lot of success using turmeric and alcohol by-products from the distillation of Barr Hill Gin. My contact prints of leaves have a terrific gold and ocher look. Exposure time: two days. Side note: the process was invented by Mary Somerville. She showed it to Herschel and somehow he keeps getting credit as its inventor. I think she should sue him, but she's been dead since 1872. And so it goes. ;)

      I tru using turmeric and 97% ethanol to do anthotyping but it seems to take lile for ever to make a image. I tought q artificial UV source would work but it is just more effective to let it in the sun. As i am typing i am still waiting for my turmeric type to develop

      I know what you mean about that picture, it really touched my heart too (mad me cry actually, haha), and the story behind it was quite amazing. Such a beautiful moment captured, carefully treasured but possibly never printed, then hidden away/forgotten/lost, only to never be witnessed again until over a century later. The colourisation was lovely too, I'm normally not a fan of that, but that image was really well done.

      You can use an old picture frame or glass and clips on a substrate. Anything that keeps the negative in contact with the paper. The advantage of the frame he has is that it will allow you to open one side and check on the developing process.

      Negatives. There weren't a lot of negatives back then - or the idea of how a negative image could be used in any way. I've also read that the "lifespan" of an anthotype is a matter of what plant you use for your emulsion. Some flowers produce longer lasting images. The main reason there is no way to permanently fix an anthotype image is easy to explain: there haven't been a lot of attempts to find a way to do it!
      For now, I'll stick with creating cyanotypes! 😁
