Capturing Nature, 150 Years of Nature Printing
by Matthew Zucker
Nature printing was the earliest precursor to photography and essentially uses items from mother earth to create impressions and images. Natural elements such as a leaf, flower, fern, seaweed, etc. and one of over 45 various printing techniques, including photography and cyanotypes results in a stunning piece of art.
Over numerous decades, Matthew Zucker curated the most extensive collection of nature prints ever assembled, with more than 13,000 images across 120 rare and seminal works, including journals, published books, unique manuscripts, American currency, and instructional texts related to nature printing from 1733 to 1902.
150 years worth of unique imagery is incredible and if you interested in a different take on creating images, coupled with an interest in nature, then this is perfect for you….
