The image originates from a handmade gum bichromate print, a 19th-century photographic process using light-sensitive watercolor pigments and gum arabic. Multiple negatives and layered exposures were used to build the image through successive colour layers. Because precise alignment of these layers is extremely complex, each original bichromate print is effectively unique. That original print was then photographed and reproduced as a high-resolution giclée pigment print on museum-quality textured paper (320 gsm, acid-free) for maximum longevity.

Ian Sanderson (1951–2020) was a Scottish photographer whose 35-year career combined commercial and fine art work. In later years he focused on his archive and alternative printing techniques including platinum-palladium, silver gelatin, lith, and gum bichromate, culminating in a major retrospective in Barcelona sponsored by the Nando and Elsa Peretti Foundation.
