countessofbiscuit:A Map shewing the Country & Waters with which our Principal Characters are concerned. Drawn by The Author. To accompany the first edition of The Colonel & the Margravine of Örtö, printed by K. Wolffe. I was punch-pleased when friendly renegade book-binder @kaasknot announced his intention to print and bind a copy of my Commander Fox/Riyo Chuchi Napoleonic AU. To complement this amazing compliment, naturally a custom map for the front matter had to be produced! Though largely traced, this was drawn entirely by hand, from the ornaments to the coastal lines to the cartouche (which was first designed using various elements from contemporary engravings to reflect themes of the story). I was sore tempted to slap my expensive cartographic fonts over every town, lake and geographic feature, but not wishing to overcrowd the whole, I only labelled significant places that were mentioned in the text. I am all anticipation to see Kaa’s beautiful final work. And interested parties can learn more about the fanbinding movement here! -- source link
