Astrid Jaekel Illustration

This Illustration of George Heriot was commissioned by George Heriot's School in Edinburgh and used as a life-sized cutout for the school's open day.

As part of The Salisbury Museum’s “Past Forward” redevelopment project, I was commissioned to contribute to several projects, including the creation of a large-scale map showcasing the geography and historic landmarks of Salisbury. This map now serves as a central element of the museum’s display.

This project was commissioned by Edinburgh World Heritage as part of the 12 closes renovation project in 2021. The printed murals were fitted to 6 entrances along Carrubbers Close, just off Edinburgh's historic Royal Mile. The illustrations and text tell the story of the close from 1480 to the the 20th century.

Illustrated silhouettes for the exhibition War, Destriction and Reform: The Early Years of Mary, Queen of Scots which was held at the Wardlaw Museum in St. Andrews in 2026.
