Atlantic 1936
This archival, hand-sewn journal/sketchbook is made from 100 gsm, rose 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 blue goatskin. Its spine is covered in pigskin, and its boards are wrapped in a 1936 map of the Pacific Ocean. It’s vintage paper shows wear along the creases were it was folded for transportation and storage, but it has been stabilized using archival methods.
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 1911 Liberty Head nickel (or “V” nickel because its value was shown in Roman numerals on its obverse). It features the head of the Goddess of Liberty. She shows some wear, but she remains resolute.
This book is roughly 6.5 x 10” with more than 150 blank pages.
