Pine Bend 1885

"Pine Bend" is a cyanotype photograph by American photographer Henry P. Bosse, created in 1885. The image depicts a panoramic view of a river bend, framed by trees in the foreground. The cyanotype process, which uses a light-sensitive iron solution, results in a unique blue tone. The oval format and detailed depiction of the river and surrounding landscape showcase Bosse's skillful use of the medium, making this a stunning example of 19th-century photography.
