VINTAGE MAPS

image: ship & anchor

there is something about old school (literally!) maps, rolled up with the rusted metal clasp and the duck egg blue of the water. i also love the line quality in maps and plans (that would be where my architecture study comes in) and the idea of scale, line, type and numbers all rolled into one.
