Artist Mark Andrew Webber started this typographical map of Paris eight months ago and he’s almost ready to go to print… if he can find someone with a press that can handle the almost 6 feet by 5 feet monster of a linoleum plate. The hand-carved map uses French words — which had to be written backwards — to map out the various locations and neighborhoods of France’s capital. Note: Webber doesn’t even speak French.
