This archival, hand-sewn journal/sketchbook is made from 80 gsm Mohawk Superfine archival paper stitched with Irish linen thread in the linked pattern that was developed by the ancient Copts. This stitch allows the book to lay open easily at any page. The book’s leaves are decorated on recto, featuring vintage display advertising cuts that were printed using our 1882 Golding Pearl #1 printing press.
This book’s endbands and bookmark are French goatskin. Its boards are wrapped in a 1941 map of the world, and the book is half-clothed in Brillianta book cloth from the Netherlands. The United States entered WWII in 1941, and the original owner of this map, an American, kept track of sites in the news on it, using green ink.
The talisman in this book is a 1941 British half penny.
