Final toned print, part dry.
I’m going to have another look at the negative and see if I can reprint it with a little more luminance in the lower midtones.

An 8 × 8 inch hand-coated cyanotype of a single dahlia, photographed while still partly drying after bleaching and toning in black tea. The square print lies on a dark charcoal surface. The original Prussian blue has been transformed into muted warm brown, plum-grey and charcoal tones. The dahlia fills most of the image, with overlapping petals radiating from a dense central structure. The upper petals are lighter and clearly separated, while the lower petals gradually disappear into the darker surrounding field, creating a low-key, atmospheric image. A narrow cream paper border surrounds the sensitised area, with irregular hand-brushed edges and visible brush strokes along the top and bottom. The textured surface of the paper is clearly visible throughout the print. The image remains slightly damp, so its final colour and density are still settling.
