Nature Printing

Since the beginning of time, the pressing urge of humans to leave a mark of their existence is attested by direct prints of their hands left in caves.

Hailed as the earliest precursor to photography, Nature Printing is the practice of taking impressions directly or indirectly from the surface of natural objects such as leaves, flowering plants, ferns, seaweed, snakeskin, and more, to produce an image on paper.
