Carmine (Equinoxe) Midi Unlined Journal

This red and gold Paperblanks Equinoxe Carmine journal reproduces a 1688 binding protecting Loffice de la Semaine Sainte. The original binding was adorned à la fanfare, a handtooled pattern edged in gilt. Fanfare, which was a style popular in the seventeenth century, required tremendous skill on the part of the bookbinder and was reserved for books of great importance. See more
