Mini Poetry in Bloom Journal

The Poetry in Bloom journal takes its inspiration from a turn-of-the-century bookbinding, housed in the Spencer Collection at The New York Public Library. The original leather binding dates from 1910 and features intricate inlay designs and gilt edges. The centerpiece is a sensitive plant surrounded by chambers containing snowdrops and other richly hued and contrasting flowers, foliage and butterflies.

Our reproduction journal features the sturdy yet incredibly flexible Smyth sewn technique. In the classic art of bookmaking, the sewing together of signatures (paper folded into groups of eight, sixteen or thirty-two pages) is seen as the heart of a well-made book, or journal in this case.
