Character is Power – a cyanotype. This 9in x12in cyanotype is meant as a Christmas present (and a few copies will be offered for sale). I am not sure where I first encountered this drawing and it was certainly many years ago. I have an earlier cyanotype version hanging on my office wall and I find it to be filled with meaning and inspiration.
I though I should find the original author and ensure I was not infringing copyright to offer my cyan interpretation. I spent a lot of time digging and finally found the original author. The drawing is the first in a book from 1899 “Traits of Character” by H.F. Kletzing and E.L. Kletzing. First published in England and in the public domain now. So it is alright to offer my rendering of this drawing.
I have secured a copy of the book and just started reading it. Traits of Character is a very interesting study of what it means to be a person of character. These attributes are reinforced by vignettes of people who have displayed them (at least up to 1899). The book is available on Amazon if you are interested.
A limited number of prints are available for $29.99 plus tax and shipping. I am setting up my Etsy storefront. If you want to purchase now just click the link below and I will contact you!
