Transit Album
This archival, hand-sewn album is made from 80 gsm Mohawk Superfine archival paper sewn with waxed Irish linen thread in a pamphlet stitch. This stitch allows the book to preserve space between its pages for the inclusion of pasted-in items.
This book’s boards are covered with a 1968 map of the United States and lined with a 1949 map of Great Britain, and its spine is covered in goatskin from Landwerlen Leathers in Indianapolis.
The talisman in this book is a mid-20th-Century New York Transit subway token. This coin was first minted in 1953, when a subway ride in New York City cost fifteen cents. That’s a lot of Manhattan on a dime and a half.
