(im busy with college so all i can do is spew out stupid ideas)
So imagine 18th-century New York, home to a loving family with two daughters, one born by a mistress, the other not. Now, these people weren't wealthy, but they had a lot of money, and to keep it going, they had to marry off their illegitimate eldest daughter, because why not? And who would want to marry someone born without a title to their name? But of course, someone without a title, specifically a painter.
a painter who has visited the house at least twice to create the family portrait; despite his status as an apprentice, the eldest daughter's stern yet round features were enough to attract his attention.

I FINALLY FINISHED MY BACHELORS WORK YAAAAY. Its basically a comic book and all of the artwork in it is done with linocut or drypoint. The whole book is 62 pages so i only included my favourite spreads. Excuse my horrible handwriting lol.
And you know i had to include Maxmilien and Saint-Just in the story somehow.
Voltaire is a main character in every story and through him reader learns how the 18 century changed regarding science, religion, philosophy and politics. The 3 chapters are beginning, middle, late 18. century. The story is always: "if he was 30+ yo in differnt time what he would be doing"?
The book also includes or mentions historical characters:
Ch. 1- Jean Antoine Nollet, Émilie du Châtelet, René-Antoine Réaumur, Edmund Halley, Isaac Newton, Louis XIV.
Ch. 2- Jean le Rond dAlembert, Denis Diderot, Louis XV.
Ch.3- Maxmilien Robespierre, Louis Antoine Saint-Just, Anton Lavoisier
