Londinium
This journal/sketchbook is made from 85 gsm Arches hand-laid, all cotton rag paper from France. It is sewn with Irish linen in the linked stitch pattern that was developed by the ancient Copts. This stitch allows the book to lay open at any page.
Its endbands and bookmark are goatskin. The spine is covered in pigskin, and its boards are wrapped in a 19604 map of Shakespeare’s Britain.
The talisman in this book is a reproduction “groundling” admission penny from The Globe Theatre in London, faithfully rebuilt about 750 feet from the original site of Shakespeare’s theatre. Groundlings were ordinary workers who paid one penny to stand in the pit in front of the stage to watch a play. It doesn’t matter how you get in, or where you get to sit, it’s what you take to heart that matters.
