Full description
Perfect for history lovers looking for a journal, sketchbook or notebook!
The amazing vintage barkcloth that fabric I used for the cover features a screen printed adaptation of some of the most famous scenes from the iconic Bayeux Tapestry.
The cover of this one-of-a-kind book has a stylised version of scene 30 of the tapestry, which depicts the coronation of King Harold II (Harold Godwinson) on January 6th 1066 following the death of King Edward the Confessor. HIC RESIDET HAROLD REX ANGLORUM translates to 'Here sits Harold, King of the English'
The fabric was manufactured in 1951 by William O'Hanlon & Co. who were based in Manchester, the historic heart of the UK textile industry. O'Hanlon were well known for historical novelty prints and bayeux is now rare and highly sought after by collectors. I was lucky enough to source a previously unused length which I've used for this unique range.
Product Features:
- Hardback A5 Size Cover
- 72 plain white 120 GSM pages
- Co-ordinating yellow satin ribbon page marker and matching

This book is made with care from high quality 120gsm smooth white paper which I have carefully hand cut, folded, stitched, and glued. It is then casebound using high quality book board covered with genuine vintage cotton barkcloth from the 1950s.
Pencils are for display purposes only and not included with the book.
