grandpa's maps

I have an inexplicable love for maps. Old ones, that is. So I was thrilled when I found these in one of my late grandfather's drawers when I last visited my grandmother. The map of Denmark is my favorite. Speaking of grandfathers, there's still time to pre-order the Portraits of grandpa zine!

Jag hyser en oförklarlig kärlek till kartor. Gamla kartor då alltså. När jag var hemma hos mormor sist hittade jag morfars gamla kartor i en låda. Min favorit är nog Danmarkskartan. På tal om morfädrar så finns det fortfarande tid att beställa Portraits of grandpa-zinet.
