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 lay open easily at any page.

The talisman in this book is an 1822 medallion from the French Ministry of Commerce and Industry. Its obverse reads: “Ministere du Commerce et de l’iindustrie, LOI Du 27 Jullet 1822.”
