Illustrator '39
This archival journal/sketchbook is made from 120 gsm Arches (“wet media”) hand-laid, all cotton rag paper from France. It is sewn with Irish linen thread in the linked stitch pattern that was developed by the ancient Copts and discovered in Nag Hammadi, Egypt in 1945. This stitch allows the book to lay open at any page.
Its endbands are blue and white cotton, and its bookmark is goatskin. The spine is covered in Dubletta book cloth from the Netherlands, and its boards are wrapped in a 1939 map of New York City’s outer reaches.
The talisman in this book is a souvenir of the 1939 World’s Fair in Flushing Meadow, New York. It’s theme was “The World of Tomorrow,” and television, the View Master, nylon fabric, and “Elecktro the Moto Man,” a talking robot, all debuted at the fair.
