Each of the products listed below are historic reproductions of 18th Century items. The Journals and Sketchbooks are made by hand using period correct tools, techniques and materials. Each crafted with care for the discerning re-enactor.

     Both the Journals and Sketchbooks contain 144 pages of an acid free laid paper. Their natural colored stock resembles that of the handmade paper of the 18th Century. The Journals have a printed frontispiece (seen to the right). This frontispiece is made using 18th century style composition, spelling and type styles. Printed on antique presses, this page adds greatly to a period correct Journal.

 

     Hand folded and assembled, these pages are hand sewn onto linen twill tapes, mounted on fiber boards and covered in a supple dark brown pig skin leather. The front cover of both the Journals and Sketchbook are embellished with an embossed design.
