Triton and Sirene in the Mediterranean Sea. “Theatrum Orbis Terrarum”

Hi. I made another thing. It's Thorn in his Cartography colors. (He still needs a clear coat or eight to make sure nothing chips off).

I seem to keep picking really extra buggers to paint... Thorn's lines weren't quite as bad as Wooley's kama, but... symmetry is the worst. Literally the worst.

I have more things to say but I think I've had 7 hours of sleep in the last two days? Imma take a nap.

The first “schoolgirl map” that caught historian Susan Schulten’s attention was made in 1823 by Frances Henshaw, a student at one of the best schools for girls in the young United States. The map came from Henshaw’s Book of Penmanship, which included details about geography and astronomy—comets, meridians, horizons, polar circles, and climate zones. The young woman’s drawing encompassed 19 states, copied from Carey’s American Pocket Atlas, from 1805, and Arrowsmith and Lewis’ Atlas, from 1812.
