A beautiful vintage poetry book, thoughtfully given a new life as a handmade watercolour sketchbook.
This charming edition of Poets of the Nineteenth Century has been carefully repurposed, preserving its original soft grey clothbound cover with delicate botanical illustrations in shades of green, russet and golden yellow.
The ornate gold title panel, illustrated spine and gently timeworn edges give this book a wonderful sense of history. It's a lovely example of decorative Victorian-style bookbinding, full of character and quiet charm.
Inside, the original text pages have been replaced with approximately 88 usable painting pages, carefully hand-bound to create a beautiful space for watercolour painting, sketching and creative exploration.
The naturally textured, deckled paper edges complement the vintage cover, making this a lovely addition to an artist's collection.
