This herbarium adds an additional step to this process by creating an anthotype photogram of each plant collected. The term “anthotype” refers to a photographic process that uses photosensitive extracts from plants and UV exposure from the sun to create prints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe artist makes photosensitive emulsions from plants that she forages on the Ards Peninsula where she lives, and she applies the emulsions on cotton rag paper. She uses pressed cuttings of the plants to create anthotype prints of the same plant that was used to make the emulsion. The result is a photographic herbarium documenting the photosensitive properties of local plant life on the Ards Peninsula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSoftcover\u003cbr\u003e23 pages\u003cbr\u003e140 x 190 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Savannah Dodd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51153314349387,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2538\/3478\/files\/Herbariumfront_backmatter_dragged.webp?v=1737811381","url":"https:\/\/www.thelibraryproject.ie\/da\/products\/herbarium-of-photographic-emulsions-first-edition","provider":"The Library Project","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
