Cyanotype: The Cyanotype, which is also known as ferroprussiate, blueprint, or sun-print was invented by Sir John Herschel in 1842, when he discovered that ferric (iron) salts could be reduced to a ferrous state by light and then combined with other salts to create a blue-and-white image. Not long after, Anna Atkins, one of the few women in photography during that century, published the first book with photographs instead of illustrations,"British Algae: Cyanotype Impressions" Cyanotypes are a very old and simple form of photography employing the organic aspects of light, glass (or a negative) and time.

Cliche-verre: Cliché verre is a combination of painting and or drawing, with photography. It is a method of either etching, painting or drawing on a transparent surface, such as glass, thin paper or film and printing the resulting image on a light sensitive paper in a photographic darkroom. It is a process first practiced by a number of French painters during the early 19th century. The French landscape painter Jean- Baptiste-Camille Corot was the best known of these.
