Map of The Garden of Eden, 1783 British Ink on Laid Drawing, Framed linen and a village of tiny

and a village of tiny carved and painted wooden houses

and with all of the cross hatching surrounding her lending a sense of drama and intensity

and on one side some of the blue bleeds into the cream

with hand-tinted cheeks

Map of The Garden of Eden, 1783 British Ink on Laid Drawing, Framed linen and a village of tiny(Much better in person, both bolder and more precise feeling and one can just feel the age of the paper even through the glass) Pretty special I think, a loose drawing from the partial 1783 notebook of an Alexander, last name unknown, listed separately (which includes what seems to be of a bit of astronomy, a bit of geometry, a bit of history and what not.) I don't believe I've ever seen such a matter of fact sort of map of the Garden of Eden before,
