This blue and gold Paperblanks Equinoxe Azure journal reproduces a 1688 binding protecting L office de la Semaine Sainte. The original binding was adorned a la fanfare, a handtooled pattern edged in gilt. Fanfare, which was a style popular in the seventeenth century, required tremendous skill on the part of the bookbinder and was reserved for books of great importance.
