Printed onto 310gsm Hahnemühle German Etching paper
I began drawing this map in June 2019 (completed June 2020) and is based on over 1000 years of London’s history. It takes inspiration from various maps from the medieval period up until the modern day. What I loved most about this project, was the amount of researching and reading I had to do to complete it. From researching medieval Inns, tracing out the street plans of pre-fire London (1666) or rebuilding the lost Spires of Christopher Wren and then combining them together with the modern glass spires of London as it stood in 2020.
