theres something extremely powerful in studying your local history and ive said that before but also its extra intense when you keep running into a guy who 250 years ago was the same age you are now and was working in the field your degree is in and you're just looking up maps of the city for research unrelated to him, and your search gets you an unbelievably beautiful and detailed map he drew of this city you both share across time.

#messages from the ouija board #his work is so beautiful. the compass and surveying pass at the top.....#and its a map of a city and environs that was his home that was being torn to pieces #he describes it as basically unrecognizable when he writes to his brother in london #and this map is for the military force occupying his city to use.#henry my neighbor across time. my fellow artist. you fascinate me.#anyway im literally just trying to look up certain street intersections for the game im working on #but! heres henry pelham w truly stunning work #squirrel boy
