An aged cartographic composition layers historical map details in teal blue and oxidized copper tones, with overlapping geographical notations and decorative elements suggesting centuries of exploration and discovery. The weathered, textured surface evokes an artifact discovered in an explorer's archive, with patina and wear revealing the passage of time across continents and seas. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
