Create a map of medieval England and Northern France, 1066

I need the artistic design of a period map depicting England and Northern France 1066 AD (see attached file Medieval Map.1). This cartographic work of historical non-fiction will feature in the fourth installment of my book series chronicling the tumultuous events surrounding the Norman conquest of England. Titled "The Leopards of Normandie", the forthcoming publication explores the fictional events of a Norman/Viking family in the 11th century.

The commission entails the illustrations of national borders, coastal lines, and prominent cities/towns (as detailed in the enclosed ) as they existed during this pivotal epoch. Artistic license may be exercised to imaginatively reconstruct settlements and infrastructure where definitive evidence is scarce. Aesthetically, a black and white map mimicking antique charts and faded parchments is preferred. Legibility remains paramount given the intended readership across print and digital formats.

Dimensions conforming to standard paperback size (5" x 8") allow reproduction inline with subsequent volumes. A high-resolution digital file upon completion permits versatile distribution. While timelines are flexible, earlier delivery could capitalise on renewed public interest around this fascinating historical juncture. Creative talents meeting detailed specifications will find this an engaging challenge to bring the past vividly to life. I welcome estimations and sample portfolios from qualified candidates. I have enclosed some maps used in previous books.
