World Tallest
This archival, hand-sewn journal/sketchbook is made from 100 gsm, rose 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 book’s endbands are blue and white linen, and its bookmark is goatskin. Its boards are wrapped in a 1939 map of Central Europe, showing what is not the European Union at the start of World War II, and its spine is covered in Alran French goatskin that was processed at Rocky Mountain Leather Supply in Utah.
The talisman in this book is an 1889 souvenir from the Exposition Universelle, when the Eiffel Tower made its debut. The face of this medal shows the Eiffel Tower in relation to other tall buildings on the Earth at the time, and its obverse reads: “Souvenir de mon ascension au Sommet do La Tour Eiffel, 1889.” Visitors paid 1 franc to enter the World’s Fair and 5 francs to climb the tower where this medal was sold.
