Town and City Maps from Ultima 4's Cluebook
To celebrate the release of Ultima 4, 5, and 6 on Good Old Games today, it seems fitting to revisit some Ultima 4-related artwork featured on the site a few months ago: the town and city maps from the Ultima 4 cluebook.

You really can’t deny: Origin Systems cluebooks featured some phenomenal artwork, as did many of their manuals.
Any credits for these? They look a little like the linework of the great Denis Loubet to me.
Loubet illustrated the artwork in the Ultima IV manuals, but unfortunately there is no credit given on the Ultima IV hintbook. I don’t think it’s be a stretch to believe he did the hint book artwork too, though.
