Highcliffe Silver Birch – Artist Proof Cyanotype Test Print (A4)

This is an artist proof test print of the Highcliffe Silver Birch cyanotype edition. Created using the traditional cyanotype process, the tree is rendered in deep Prussian blue, with tonal variations and edges that make each proof unique.

The original drawing was made in Highcliffe, Dorset, where silver birches stand near the entrance to Highcliffe Castle. Their weeping branches carry both elegance and a touch of wildness, shifting from sharp lines in winter to a flowing, almost bohemian silhouette in summer. In cyanotype, the tree’s form is distilled into a striking and timeless image.

As a test print, this piece is one of a kind and not part of the main numbered edition, offering collectors a singular variation from the standard release.
