Manuscript Maps — Making Maps : Part 2 - Ink Drawing and Calligraphy

Part 2 of a four-part series in which I explain my map-drawing process, from planning and pencil drawing, to ink and calligraphy, and some weird and wonderful tricks I’ve learned, such as how to fix a mistake!.

For centuries, maps were objects of beauty, hand-drawn by artisan-cartographers who were highly skilled in calligraphy and illustration. In the modern world of computerised mapping, few have preserved this art, but Manuscript Maps revives the heritage, aesthetics, and craftsmanship of traditional cartography by producing elegant hand-drawn maps.
