Weeping Silver Birch – Original Cyanotype Print

Weeping Silver Birch – Original Cyanotype Print

This hand-printed cyanotype captures the charm of a weeping silver birch in full spring flourish. Drawn in ink and exposed using sunlight on heavyweight 300gsm watercolour paper, this one-of-a-kind print radiates both nostalgia and botanical clarity. The tree’s draped foliage—like a 1920s bob fresh from the salon—echoes a time of peace signs, purpose-built flats, and Cortinas parked out front. Found just opposite Highcliffe Castle in Dorset, this particular birch is part of the local character: once a gangly newcomer, now fully matured and holding its own beside a boxy 70s low-rise.

Each print is handmade using traditional cyanotype techniques, meaning no two are ever quite the same. Slight variations in tone, brushstroke and edge make each one completely unique.
