An eloquent hand-drawn map of Paris, beautifully decorated in the style of antique maps and showing many famous places around the city.
My map of Paris shows over 100 historic and modern sites, and includes a brief history from its Roman founding to the modern day. The floral foliage motifs of the border and decorations were inspired by 18th-century French maps, and the title cartouche illustrates seven of Paris’ most iconic buildings.
I drew the Paris Map by hand in 2018. It took over three months to create: planning how to fit in over 100 place-names across the map was a particular challenge!
This chic map makes the perfect memento of holidays, or perhaps an incredible honeymoon, marriage proposal, or wedding.
