    So, I don't want to rain on the parade. The linework and antiquing are excellent. What I find jarring is the use of modern, very-clean type. Look at stuff that is more definitely hand-rendered, in keeping with the woodcut-style linework you use. GLC Fonts is a new one for me, but has a load of lovely stuff: http://www.gilleslecorre.com/pages/fonts.html. Also, look at how type is places on a woodcut map: it's not letterspaced, it's placed where it felt convenient to the artist. So more curves, more irregular letterspacing/kerning. My 2¢...
