Hyperrealistic editorial collection-record photograph, landscape 5:3. One unframed botanical cyanotype on thick ivory rag paper lies flat on an archival support board inside a shallow, open walnut flat-file drawer. The print shows a single pale fern against deep Prussian blue; a slightly lighter rectangular margin records its former mounting, with gently worn paper corners. Photograph from nearly overhead using a 50mm lens, keeping the entire sheet and every edge visible, the paper plane sharply focused. Place the print left of centre with clean empty conservation board to its right. Soft daylight enters from the side; an oak floor below the drawer bounces subtle warm fill onto the underside of the drawer lip and paper edges without muddying the blue. Restrained museum-storage atmosphere, controlled highlights, natural paper texture and convincing wood grain. No people, extra objects, text, logos or watermarks.
