Our Aurelia journals are fit for a king. The inspiration for this cover dates back to Paris in the mid-18th century, and the original binding housed copies of King Louis XV’s procedures for Holy Week. French nobility were not noted for their restraint in the use of gold embellishment, and this cover is no exception. Originally crafted by Pierre-Paul Dubuisson, this design is a marvelous riot of gold tooled rococo elements, featuring birds, flowers and leaves. Dubuisson was himself bookbinding royalty of a sort. He and his father specialized in almanacs decorated with gold plates, and Dubuisson became the King’s official bookbinder in 1758. This cover is an ode to the glory of gold, the colour of the sun and the precious metal against which all others are measured.

Beautiful cover
This journal has such a beautiful cover. The paper is wonderful quality. I wish that it was a little larger, my hand starts to cramp while writing on the pages. It's a great little size for carrying around.

Wunderschönes Büchlein
Bis jetzt mein drittes Buch von Paperblanks, was wie ich finde für sich spricht. Die Bücher die dort erworben werden können sind wie ich finde nicht gerade günstig, aber für den Preis bekommt man auch eine sehr gute Qualität, die Farben der Einbände sind kräftig, die Produktbilder bringen das nicht so schön zur Geltung. Die Seiten sind nicht zu dünn, in einem habe ich mit Acryl- und Wasserfarben gemalt, nichts hat sich durch die Seiten gedrückt obwohl ich nicht gerade vorsichtig war. Alles in allem bin ich sehr zufrieden und werde auch zukünftig meine Bücher dort kaufen.
