This is an illustration I created as a promotional "travel poster" for Ryan North's sober textbook, How To Invent Everything.

This image shows how you might travel back in time to rectify mistakes of the past. The text reads:

VISIT EUROPE, 1350 C.E
Come experience the Black Death for some reason
Also bring medicine and knowledge of the germ theory of disease

The additional caption at the bottom reads: “Our travels abroad have been enriching, but also, I freely concede, enormously unpleasant”

Or, you can get a version with no text at all!

I created this image in collage fashion, using imagery from 19th-century periodicals. It was colored by Marcus Parcus.

Print is either 8.5 x 11" or 11 x 14" on matte bristol.

All prints come signed by default! If you want some specific inscription or dedication, let me know in the instructions box.
