Turquoise Chronicles Ultra Lined Journal

Let a swirl of turquoise amid gilt embellishment inspire you to write your chronicles. This cover de<\h>sign is based on a binding originally published by Salel Binder in Paris in 1514. The tome, <I>Chroniques,<I> was created at a time when books were evolving and binders were using smaller formats that were easier to bind. Pasteboards replaced wood covers and gold tooling grew in popularity.<\#13><\e><\e>The exuberance of the <I>Chroniques<I> design reflects the sheer splendour of the Renaissance approach to decoration that influenced architecture, art and all facets of cultural life. In the glittering green-blue of this cover you may well see the intricacies of your own stories or the infinite possibilities of the writ<\h>ten word. At minimum, we hope that Turquoise Chronicles will make you think of Paris, which has for centuries been a centre for art and publishing and a beacon of culture.
