This archival, hand-sewn journal/sketchbook is made from 100 gsm, 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 archival paper that was hand-marbled by Katherine Brett at Payhembury Paper in Migdale, Southerland, Scotland, and the book is half-leathered in Alran French goatskin that was processed at Rocky Mountain Leather Supply in Sandy, Utah.
The talisman in this book is a souvenir of the 1907 Brussels Salon, at which most of the living master artists of Europe from the fin de siècle exhibited their work. Its obverse reads: “1907 Aout-Octobre, Exposition de Batiment soul le patronage du Roi et de l’eclairage.”
