Hunk Alert: Paul Sandby


SWM, cartographer, artist, and member of the Royal Academy looking for woman who enjoys the great outdoors.
Likes: Landscapes, gardening, Scotland, and carictures.

I think I am a great example of the Enlightened man. Hiking through the Scottish Highlands, sketching along the way, and even adding little notes about improvements. What better way could a man make due with his time? When I am not creating maps you might find me painting landscapes of the king's properties or heckling William Hogarth. Oops did I say that out loud? So yes, landscapes, painting, Enlightened and so on.

I am looking for a lady who doesn't tire out easily; you must be sturdy enough for long walks. You also must love to travel and know when to give me time to myself to work. Please write back soon before I become too much of a lonesome mountain man!

    Mm... Mr Sandby... I don't see a problem with the mountain man plan at all if you want to wander the mountains with me! And when you are sketching so wonderfully, I would be happy to 'mend your quills' for you, if you'll let me... Any time...

    Yay, Paul Sandby finally made it here! I fell for him years ago at the Tate.

    (Kinda like ol' George Coussmaker at the Met. Museums are dangerous places for me.)

    I have a feeling we would have a lot of fun visiting a museum together, Polonaise.

    Hehe, Heather! Sounds good--I always arrive early, am one of the last to leave and need to be to be restrained while I'm there! (Especially in the Period Rooms.)

    I think he sounds a dreadful bore. I mean, could you stand being "Enlightened" at all hours of the day? I could not. You can have him.
