This archival journal/sketchbook is made from 85 gsm Arches hand-laid, all cotton rag paper from France.  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 at any page.

This book’s endbands and bookmark are French goatskin.  Its boards are wrapped in a mid-20th-century map of Rome, Italy, and its spine is covered in Alran French goatskin that was processed at Rocky Mountain Leather Supply in Sandy, Utah.

The talisman in this journal is a fragment from an ancient Roman coin featuring the likeness of an emperor.  It was found in Italy during the 20th Century.  It is believed to date from the 8th Century B.C.E., the “dark ages” in Europe.
