Paperblanks New York Rose Bookmark

Summary The Paperblanks New York Rose Bookmark is a decorative 1.5 x 7.25 inch bookmark featuring artwork inspired by an 1898 Gilded Age bookbinding. With double-sided artwork, textured printing, rounded edges, and subtle Paperblanks branding, it is a small reading accessory with the look of a fine antique book cover. Product Story New York Rose is inspired by an 1898 binding of Prue & I by George William Curtis, a sentimental, tender, and humorous study of life written during the height of New York’s Gilded Age. 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. Garlands of flowers, gold embellishment-inspired details, and a rich purple ground give this design the feeling of a treasured volume from a private library. Now held by The New York Public Library, the original binding connects this bookmark to a story of literature, collecting, craftsmanship, and the preservation of beautiful books.
