Ornate journal reproduces a gold-tooled and painted binding of the Breviarium Romanum, or Roman Breviary, daily prayers prescribed by the Catholic Church and published by Claude Picques in Lyon, France, in 1556. The stamped centerpiece was a popular design element in decorative bindings of the time. Inviting journal provides 192 lightly lined crisp writing pages -- plenty of space for personal reflection, sketching, or jotting down quotations or poems. Acid-free archival-quality 120 gsm paper takes pen and pencil beautifully. Luminous detailing, with iridescent and gold foil highlights and gilded-gold page edging, make this journal shine. Raised embossing adds dimension. A ribbon marker keeps your place. Bronze interior endsheets complement the design. Durable hardcover binding. Journal is a larger size: 7-1/4'' wide x 9'' high.
