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 book’s endbands and bookmark are goatskin. Its boards are wrapped in a 1963 map of Italy, 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 a 1963 50 lira coin, featuring the likeness of Vulcan, the Roman god of fire. To be forged by fire is to be made stronger.
