10 beautiful hand-drawn maps of major cities
In these days of smartphones, computers and GPS navigation devices it can be easy to forget the simply, quaint charm that came with exploring a city by map.
Illustrator Jenni Sparks has released a series of hand drawn maps covering a series of the world’s major cities, recreating each location with meticulous detail.
Jenni told Intrepid Travel, “I always pick up on interesting stuff when I research the cities, but I think my favourite part is actually being there. I love feeling the city vibes and understanding the different personalities of each part of town. I love architecture too and I think this really informs my work.”
Jenni’s map-making process generally takes quite a while, but we’re sure you’ll agree the results are well worth the effort!
