The Rose of Favereau — October 1989
Unique Hand-Treated Cyanotype from an Original Signed Photograph by Michael Joseph
A delicate reinterpretation of a photograph taken by Michael Joseph at Favereau, south-west France, in October 1989.
Even in the original, Michael somehow makes a simple rose feel almost painted rather than photographed — its reflection, softened edges and elongated stems creating something wonderfully graphic and slightly surreal. Clever Michael: even a flower becomes a composition.
In 2026, his daughter Justine reworked the image as this unique cyanotype, made from a negative of Michael’s original signed print. After exposure, it was bleached and immersed in a soft pink wash, transforming the usual cyanotype blue into dusty rose, faded green and smoky grey.
The original handwritten title, “The Rose of Favereau, Oct. 1989”, and Michael’s signature remain visible within the image.
Original photograph: Michael Joseph
Date: October 1989
Cyanotype: Justine Joseph, Dordogne, 2026
Process: Bleached and pink-washed cyanotype
Edition: Unique — one-off
Presentation: Red mount as shown
This is a tactile, handmade piece: crinkles, ripples and tonal irregularities from coating, washing and drying are part of its character. It is not intended for someone seeking a perfectly smooth photographic finish, but for those who appreciate the accidents and alchemy of analogue making.
A rose turned photograph, turned almost painting — two generations and one entirely unique piece.
