Though Raisz' style defies automation, having a few hill and mountain symbols is always a nice addition for pictorial maps. Additional hill and mountain symbols are inspired by Abraham Ortelius and calligrapher Heather Child.

That answered to some questions that arose while admiring some of his work. Wur non-profit produces great numbers of mediocre maps (we do other things well) even thought maps should be our showcase. Is there an organization of cartographers we might approach to find Raisz inspired interns? Tom Magnuson Thank you for articulating Raisz technological novelty.
