SparksAbout the work
A closer look.
Have an old thing and no date for it? Send a clear photo: a globe, a badge, a label, a printed page, a family object. I read the markers that carry the weight (place names, styles, materials, printing) against public sources and send back a short page (PDF): the year or place it points to, the markers that decide it, and the one thing that would move the date. Worked example: a globe dated by three renamed-country pairs, Lourenco Marques/Maputo, Ujung Pandang/Makassar, South West Africa/Namibia. If the photo is not enough, I tell you what else to photograph instead of guessing. 3-day delivery, one revision included.
Before you order
Shop policies
I work from public sources and show where each one is. Every order includes one revision. If I cannot settle something, I say so instead of guessing. If the claim doesn't hold, that is the answer. Delivery at the promised days; if I run late I say why. Payment is by the checkout link you receive at order time.
