Grand Tour
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 lay open easily at any page.
The book’s endbands and bookmark are goatskin. Its boards are wrapped in a 1939 map of Europe and French West Africa. The book is half-leathered with Alran French goatskin that was processed at Rocky Mountain Leather Supply in Utah.
The talisman in this book is a 1947 medal from the Swedish Tourist Association. Its obverse reads “SVENKA TURIST FORENINGEN 1885-1910”; it was awarded to Gunnar Broberg in 1947. The slogan on its face translates: “Know your country.”
