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 paper that was hand-marbled by Jemma Lewis in Wiltshire, England, and its spine is covered in hand-finished Alran French goatskin that was processed at Rocky Mountain Leather Supply in Sandy, Utah. Its ormolu was hand-applied using one of our brass tools carved by Kevin Noakes in Rustington, West Sussex, England.
The talisman in this book is an 1884 French Horticulture Award. It’s obverse reads: “Societè d’Horticulture d’Eure-et-Loir. Mr. Lormeau, Fils. Exposition Anneau 1884.”
