Do readers have the Xi of creating handbooks? Many of the hundreds of tools bought by stationery controllers should be purchased for the purpose of creating their own exclusive handbooks, right?
But before the development of all kinds of stationery and stickers, how did people take notes in the past?
A tweeter on X (Twitter) こた (@kota_draw) shared travel notes written by his grandfather when he traveled around the world more than 50 years ago. Amazingly, the maps in the notes were all drawn with a fountain pen in one go!
▼ Maps of Africa, Europe, and the Mediterranean
▼ At the bottom of the world map in the upper left corner, it is written that the grandfather of the Tui Master has made three world trips: "Egypt Europe Tour", "Africa Europe Tour", and "Soviet Union Eastern Europe Tour"
▼ Africa Europe travel route in 1973
The tweeter said that his grandfather's photo album is not only photos, but also information about the places he visited, hand-drawn maps, luggage and itineraries, all recorded in great detail.
"When I looked at my grandfather's photo albums and travel notes, I realized that my interest in organizing and depicting small things may have been inherited from my grandfather. 」
▼ The lower right has a flight itinerary that passed by Hong Kong Airport at that time
▼ You can vaguely see the title and draw auxiliary lines
▼ A brief introduction to notes on African countries
▼ I will also write a picture for the photo like this. "Young people carry young girls like this, no matter where they are. (Showa 48 is exactly 50 years ago (1973))
▼"The streets of Paris are bustling. 」
It's an amazing masterpiece, and the mere fact that you can draw a map is already amazing, and even adds all kinds of markers, so you must have taken a lot of concentration to do it.
After the tour, you may also try to add pictures or notes to the photos, not only for your own memories in the future, but also for your children and grandchildren to remember and admire!
