This archival, hand-sewn journal/sketchbook is made from 100 gsm, custard-toned Hahnemühle Ingres mouldmade paper from Germany, sewn with Irish linen thread in the linked stitch pattern that dates back at least to the Ancient Copts. It allows the book to lay open easily to any page.
This book’s endbands are blue and white cotton, and its bookmark is dark green goatskin. Its spine is covered goatskin over rawhide and its boards are wrapped in a retired British nautical chart covering the Singapore Strait and Eastern Approaches. Its cover page was printed by Evan Backstrom at The Rugged Press, Indianapolis.
Treasure binding began with monks in the 6th Century who would encrust volumes with jewels. During the Renaissance, there was a resurgence in treasure binding. This is a contemporary revival of the treasure binding in which a lucky charm has been embedded in the cover of this book.
The talisman in this book is a Bank token from Bremerhaven, Germany. Sail on. Keep your ship aright.
This book is roughly 6.5 x 10” with more than 150 blank (and one printed) pages.
