Brideshead
This archival, mixed media journal/sketchbook is made from 85 and 120 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 and discovered in Nag Hammadi, Egypt in 1945. This stitch allows the book to lay open at any page.
Its endbands and bookmark are goatskin. The spine is covered in paste-waxed Belgian book cloth, and its boards are wrapped washi paper that was hand silk-screened in Japan in a factory where kimono silks are printed.
The talisman in this book is a British 1934 rowing medal in the “Junior-Senior Oar Dash” as it reads on verso. This historical rivalry between Oxford and Cambridge is the oldest of the modern crew rivalries, dating from 1828. An eight-person shell is typically 60 feet long; that’s 20 yards of synchronized oar power. “Scull!”
