Imagine taking fragments of an old bookbinding and giving them a second life nearly two centuries later.

That's exactly what bookbinder Scott Husby did in the 1990s when he created this remarkable gold-tooled cover for a surviving copy of Shakespeare's First Folio. He incorporated fragments dating from the early 1800s, bringing together different chapters of bookbinding history in one beautiful design.

The original First Folio, published in 1623, preserved 36 of Shakespeare's plays, including nearly 20 for which it remains our only reliable early text.

I selected this Paperblanks journal because its cover tells two stories. One about Shakespeare's extraordinary literary legacy. The other about the craftsmanship that helps preserve it.

A wonderful journal for readers, writers, and anyone who appreciates the history of books.

FAQs

WHAT IS A GICLEÉ PRINT?

Giclee printing is currently the highest quality standard for printing single or limited edition prints. The term "giclee"(pronounced "ZHEE-CLAY")is a French word meaning "to spray." Giclee prints are created by spraying millions of droplets of ink onto archival fine-art substrates. The word "giclee," as a fine-art term, has come to be associated with prints using fade-resistant archival pigmented inks printed on archival substrates by professional inkjet printers. Giclee prints represent the highest evolution in printmaking technology. The giclee printing process provides better color accuracy and richer depth of color than other means of art reproduction possible.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT ABOUT THE PRINT QUALITY?

A great gicleé print begins with a great image. We proudly use a privately owned giclee printing company founded in 2003 that services the fine art and photography markets. They have gained international recognition with featured articles about their services in Digital Ouput Magazine, Digital Photo Pro Magazine and on the Oprah show. Osio-Brown Editions is one of the original giclee printing studios in the Chicago area and is a preeminent force in the fine art giclee printing industry. Their client list extends throughout the United States, Central & South America and Europe.

WHAT ABOUT FRAMING?

The prints are standard sizes allowing them to be framed easily with stock size frames found in most stores. Custom framing is always a beautiful option but not necessary.
