Cloudy Valley - Franklin Booth style

Franklin Booth is an illustrator/artist from about 100 years ago.  He did these amazing ink drawings which are almost like engravings.  He did them free hand because he did not realize most were made on metal plates or were done craved into wood.  Since he was self-taught on his initial techniques he became very well known for this style.  This was my attempt at capturing the things he would do with a pen and ink.  I did this a few years back and I have improved but still I am not up to the Master, yet.
