Normandy Rouen
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 paper that was hand-marbled by Katherine Brett at Payhembury Papers in Migdale, Southerland, Scotland. The book is half-cloth, covered in book cloth from the Netherlands.
The talisman in this book is a presentation medallion from the Norman chamber of commerce to the chamber of commerce in Rouen. Its obverse reads: “Chambre de Commerce de Normandie MDCCIII [1703], Chambre de Commerce de Rouen MDCCCII [1811].”
