This archival, hand-sewn journal/sketchbook is made from 100 gsm, blue-green Hahnemühle Ingres mouldmade paper from Germany, sewn with Irish linen thread in the linked stitch pattern that dates back at least to the Ancient Copts. It allows the book to lay open easily to any page.
This book’s endbands are navy and gold silk, and its bookmark is calfskin. Its spine is covered in calfskin, and its boards are wrapped in a paper that was hand-marbled by Betty Caponi in Monte San Giusto, Italy.
Treasure binding began with monks in the 6th Century who would encrust volumes with jewels. During the Renaissance, there was a resurgence in treasure binding. This is a contemporary revival of the treasure binding in which a lucky charm has been embedded in the cover of this book.
The talisman in this book is a 1906 medal from Du Départment de la Seine for Direction de l’enseignement Primarie, awarded to an instructor named Auxenfans. It was given to a Parisian art teacher.
This book is approximately 6.5 x 9.5” with a few more than 150 blank pages.
