This archival, hand-sewn journal/sketchbook 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 Irish linen thread in the linked stitch pattern that was developed by the ancient Copts. This stitch allows the book to lie open easily at any page.
The book’s endbands and bookmark are goatskin. Its boards are wrapped in a parchment copy of the Bill of Rights as reprinted by the National Archives in Washington, D.C., and the book is half-leathered in Alran French goatskin that was processed at Rocky Mountain Leather Supply in Sandy, Utah. Its argenting was hand-applied using one of our brass new tools carved by Kevin Noakes in Rustington, West Sussex, England.
The talisman in this book is a 1976 bi-centennial coin presented by the Original Thirteen States celebrating a famous freedom of speech case. Its obverse reads: “The Bi-centennial Council of the Original States. In 1735 the Trial of Peter Zenger, a New York newspaper publisher, established truth as an absolute defense against libel.”
