Caruso Album
This archival, hand-sewn album is made from archival, 100 gsm, white Hahnemühle Ingres mouldmade paper from Dassel, Germany since 1584. It is sewn with waxed Irish linen thread in a pamphlet stitch. This stitch preserves space between the book’s pages for the inclusion of pasted-in items.
This book’s boards are wrapped in paper that was hand silk-screened in a factory in Japan where kimono silks are printed, and its spine is covered in goatskin from Landwerlen Leathers in Indianapolis.
The talisman in this book is a 1921 Italian 20 centimes coin. That year marks the death of Italian tenor Enrico Caruso in Naples; he was the first international recording star, and he made approximately 250 recordings.
