'Little Gervaise' Bare Spine Watercolor Journal

Originally published in 1900 and penned by John Strange Winter, ‘Little Gervaise’ has been reimagined as a watercolor journal for collecting small joys, quiet inspiration, and everyday beauty.

Please note: One of the unique characteristics of our ‘Bare Spine’ journals is the small gaps between each signature (every 4 pages). They're a natural part of the exposed binding, this construction also allows the journal to lay flatter than ever before.

Features:

• Original antique book cover from 1900
• Exposed ‘Bare Spine’ binding with decorative contrasting 100% linen thread
• Lays flatter than ever before for an even better painting experience
• 100% cotton, 300 GSM / 140 lb cold-pressed watercolor paper (acid-free & archival)
• Hand-torn deckled edges
• Our same fabulous watercolor paper inside each cover, left blank as a celebration of your artwork (front page label arrives unattached so you can place it wherever it best fits your painting)
• Page from the original book included inside the back cover
• 94 pages (front and back)
• Measures approximately 7½ × 5 inches
