Blue and Gold Paperblanks Equinoxe Journal

This blue and gold Paperblanks Equinoxe Azure journal reproduces a 1688 binding protecting L'office de la Semaine Sainte.

The original binding was adorned 'ÌÊ 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.
