Paperblanks Flexis New York Rose Mini Softcover Journal

Summary The Paperblanks New York Rose Mini Softcover Journal is a 3.5 x 5.5 inch lined journal with 208 pages of smooth 80 gsm paper. With a flexible cover, Smyth sewn binding, elastic closure, ribbon marker, edge printing, and inside back cover pouch, it is a compact notebook with the refined look of the Gilded Age bookbinding. Product Story New York Rose is inspired by an 1898 binding of Prue & I by George William Curtis, brought to Paperblanks through its partnership with The New York Public Library. The original binding was produced by the Club Bindery, a New York design house founded by members of the Grolier Club to bring the art of fine European-style bookbinding to the United States. The design reflects the elegance of New York’s Gilded Age, with garlands of flowers, gold embellishments, and a rich purple ground. The original volume once belonged to William Augustus Spencer, whose remarkable book collection became part of The New York Public Library’s Spencer Collection after his death aboard the Titanic. This small softcover journal carries that layered history of literature, collecting, and decorative book arts into an everyday notebook.
