This is an interesting piece. This is the cover of the menu from the Holland America Cruiseline in 1987. The chart features a boy and a girl in traditional dress, just look at those wooden shoes and the bird in the cage. Can you imagine going on vacation with a bird?
The chart is 226×283 stitches and contains 75 colors. It has the background removed though, so it’s not as many stitches as you think.
