This archival album/scrapbook 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 waxed Irish linen thread in a modified pamphlet stitch that allows users to paste inclusions into the book.
The book’s boards are wrapped in paper that was hand-marbled by Katherine Brett at Payhembury Papers in Migdale, Southerland, Scotland, and its spine is built from goatskin from Landwerlen Leathers in Indianapolis, Indiana.
The talisman in this book is a souvenir from the Hoover Electric Exhibit at the 1933 Chicago World’s fair. Its obverse reads: “Century of Progress. 1933. Souvenir of the Hoover Exhibit.”
