This journal/sketchbook is made from 85 gsm Arches hand-laid, all cotton rag paper from France. It is sewn with Irish linen in the linked stitch pattern that was developed by the ancient Copts. This stitch allows the book to lay open at any page.
Its endbands are goatskin, and its bookmark is goatskin. The spine is covered in Saffiano goatskin, the finish preferred by the Italian house Prada, and its boards are wrapped in a 1960 map of France, Netherlands, and Belgium.
The talisman in this book is a WWII, 1937 French 10 centimes coin. Wars and their protests seem to anchor time, but 1937 is when Pablo Picasso completed his masterpiece Guenerica (about the Spanish Civil War), and in 1960 the Tate Modern in London launched the first block-buster art show: a Picasso retrospective. It takes time for genius to be recognized.
