This archival, hand-sewn journal/sketchbook is made from 100 gsm, white Hahnemühle Ingres mouldmade paper from Dassel, Germany, made on the same site since 1584. It is sewn with Irish linen thread in the linked stitch pattern that was developed by the ancient Copts. This stitch allows the book to lay open easily at any page.
The book’s endbands and bookmark are goatskin. Its boards are wrapped in a 1939 map of Europe, published at the very start of World War II, and the book is half-leathered in Alran French goatskin that was processed at Rocky Mountain Leather Supply in Utah.
The talisman in this book is a souvenir from the 1889 Exposition Universelle, the World’s Fair for which the Eiffel Tower was erected. It cost one franc to enter the fairgrounds, and three to climb the steps of the Tower; those who reached the top, were offered the opportunity to buy this token, and this particular one, the gilded version, was the most deluxe of those.
