Moroccan Coffee House

For the Vampire Series, but going to re do & have more emphasis on the guest & his fiance. This might be the first photo (still practising making these drawings look like photos, lol), this is the beginning where he is leaving London for his trek to Transylvania to the Vampire’s castle. Trains all the way til he gets to Bistrita where he takes a carriage to Borgo Pass where he meets the Vampire’s coach.
One of the main reasons i have not been on so much (and i do apologize) is i have been doing research for the last 2 weeks or so, though the story is fiction, the railway stations were real, the year is 1890, so i am looking for data and photos, or illustrations of several different railway stations, and scenery. He is leaving from the St. Pancras Railway Station in London, The Midland Hotel is next to the Railway Station where he and his fiance are having a goodbye tea in The Moroccan Coffee House. Then he catches the train to Munich, Via Paris & Stuttgart. Then From Munich to Vienna, on to Budapest, then to Bistrita, where he takes the coach. i’m hoping to do all these in the drawings that look like photographs, because he is taking photos of his trip with his Kodak camera. The photos at that time were circular.

i left the paper without the black, such a pretty brown (from coffee staining)

    Hee hee, i thought you would like this. Thank you so much Paul. Makes me want to go re soak my other paper in more coffee. A lot didn’t get that nice brown tone. i should do it while the weather stays hot, & hang them out in the sun on the clothesline
