SOLD! Florentine Fleur, New Orleans Baton Rouge 1973, #Draw365.149 © Julia Forsyth

SOLD! ©2012 Julia Forsyth, FLORENTINE FLEUR, NEW ORLEANS BATON ROUGE 1973, block printing ink hand-printed on vintage 1973 map, 5" x 4"

 

This map is the real deal. My mother-in-law has a big collection of maps, and this one spent its glory days guiding my hub's family station wagon on many of their vacations. It has a real charm and patina consistent with a well-used map from the early 70's.

 

I thought about upcycling this map with my Florentine Fleur linocut since they seem to enhance each other. I'm learning how to print on it as opposed to pristine paper.

 

*****UPDATE***** This print sold on Etsy, but I have a similar print for sale at a gallery show. Let me know if you're interested in it! Thanks!!
