Step into another era with this exquisite journal compiled and designed by the gifted researcher, writer, book designer and collector of ephemera, Barbara Hodgson. For this journal, Barbara has drawn from her extensive collection of line drawings, engravings and other archival material to illustrate various themes.
The book captures the spirit of the great age of the natural sciences. Lushly illustrated with botanical, zoological and geological specimens, as well as portraits of celebrated scientists, the journal gives naturalists of all sorts space to record their own pursuits. Here are the great naturalists of the 19th century, among them Charles Darwin, Carolus Linnaeus and Alexander von Humboldt. The work and collections of dozens of anonymous naturalists are also featured.
With its quality binding and paper, this journal will be a pleasure to hold and to use. It comes complete with a ribbon bookmark. Besides providing a fascinating window on the past, it will inspire modern-day "journalists" to keep a record of their own lives and times.
