This journal's cover is based on a gold-tooled goatskin binding created in the 1700s by Antoine Michel Padeloup, royal bookbinder to King Louis XV of France. The original housed a book of hours by master engraver Louis Senault. Inside, crisp writing pages provide plenty of space to record personal reflections, sketch, or note favorite quotations or poems. Premium smooth-finish 120 gsm paper takes pen or pencil beautifully.
