March 2022This piece was part of a series of maps showing the journeys of a particular Civil War soldier, published as part of a book of his letters home.
It was a fun exercise to work on practicing an older style: wobbly dots, wavy lines, and a script font that I traced directly from his handwriting. I think the hachures on the river turned out pretty nicely!
