Handmade Antique Book in Cyanotype Prussian Blue ! Westinghouse Bowling League 1919 has the Blues

Cyanotype is a photographic printing process that produces a cyan-blue print. Engineers used the process well into the 20th century as a simple and low-cost process to produce copies of drawings, referred to as blueprints. Here the technique is employed to celebrate (and lampoon) the members of the Westinghouse Bowling League 14th annual meeting. The anonymous artist names each member being drawn, and the names are each found on a page reporting their scores. Not so good! While being one of the very first photographic techniques, the cyanotype has a secret skill. Shield them from light, and the color regenerates! These pages are nice and dark!

Cowgirls who Bowl (!) Woman with Big Balls and a Stick Pin collection Jim Linderman


Not only cowgirls, but cowgirls with big balls!  Presumably the winners of the World International Bowling Congress…and a badge too!  Those are some damn tough athletes…I'd hate to meet one in an alley.  (Get it? Alley?)  Haw.

The Women's International Bowling Congress was formed in 1916.  The organization lasted until 2005, when they merged with another group.
