Viollet le Duc

$175.00

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 1953 blueprint of the Hydrogen Manifold Platform for the Kyger Creek Plant, Ohio Valley Electric Corporation, and its spine is covered in Alran French goatskin that was processed at Rocky Mountain Leather supply in Sandy, Utah. 

The talisman in this book is a medallion from the Union Federale Des Clubs Sportifs et Artistiques, on the occasion of its tenth anniversary.  It was sculpted by Pierre Turin (1891-1968), widely considered the most accomplished of France’s art deco medal designers.
