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 is amply illustrated with photographs, engravings, and etchings of intrepid women travellers from the 19th century and earlier, along with scenes from their travels, postcards and posters from the time, quotes from the women about their experiences, and fascinating facts about their journals. There is also plenty of room for the worldly woman of today to record her own adventures. A delightful companion for anyone embarking on a journey.
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.
