Beautifully Executed, Large Ink and Watercolor Manuscript Map of North America, 1854, French Canadian handmade flash cards Manufacturing and the ArtsI look at a lot of antique hand drawn maps done in school, but rarely come across one as beautiful as this one, finely executed ink and watercolor and dated 1854. And rather nice that it is French Canadian's perspective on North America. Details are most useful in giving a sense of the level of detail and gorgeous color here; my overall photo does it no real justice.
