The cyanotype process dates back to the 1840s. The blue image comes from the chemicals used to sensitize the paper that is exposed to ultra-violet light with a film image placed over it. I am using the "New Cyanotype Process" by Mike Ware that changes the chemical mix, yielding better constrast and a more intense blue.
I am expirementing with combining the cyanotype with the Van Dyke process and show a few examples below. This is something I will continue to work on in the future.
