The Original Went Through the Press
In Henry Bradbury’s nature prints, an actual seaweed specimen was pressed against a soft lead plate. An electrotype was then made from the impression for use in the printing press. The method produced exceptional detail, but it was also criticised: soft plant parts could be flattened and altered on their way to the page.

The story behind the motif
In 1859, the English printer Henry Bradbury published The Nature-printed British Sea-weeds . In this poster we see the illustration British Seaweeds 057 - Gracilaria multipartita.
Bradbury was quick to begin using the method of "nature printing" - a process of using plant or animal material to create a print. The process had previously been developed by the Austrian printer Alois Auer.

Bradbury placed the subject between two smooth and polished plates, one of steel and one of lead, which were then pulled through a pair of rollers. When the plates were then separated, an impression had been made on the lead plate, which was then hand colored and transferred to the final print.

At the lower left edge of the poster we can see the text " Nature printed by Henry Bradbury ".
