Nice stuff. I love the art on the West Indian Atlas.

Clip search "Absolutely Amazing" . You'll like it.

Just got through producing replicas of early US maps, including Lewis and Clark maps. Very interesting. They''ll be on display at the Oregon Sesquicentennial at the Capitol Bldg in Salem next month.

I'm enjoying your clipstyle!
