This archival album/scrapbook is made from 100 gsm, antique white Hahnemühle Ingres mouldmade paper from Dassel, Germany, made on the same site since 1584. It is sewn with waxed Irish linen thread in a modified pamphlet stitch that allows users to paste inclusions into the book.
The book’s boards are wrapped in 1961 map of the United States, and its spine is covered in Badalassi Carlo Italian calfskin that was processed at Rocky Mountain Leather Supply in Sandy, Utah.
Treasure binding began with monks in the 6th Century who would encrust volumes with jewels to demonstrate their worth to a largely illiterate populace. 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 1962 bronze casting of the Ohio state seal.
