Inspired by an Irish book binding from 1760, Emerald Flower is adorned with delicate leaves and branches. Decorated with large rose sprays and cornucopias, this design calls to mind the abundance of nature’s harvest at Thanksgiving. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe location of this special binding is just as beautiful as its covers. It is held in our hometown of Dublin, Ireland, at the Benjamin Iveagh Library, a beautiful wood-panelled room containing more than 5,000 books and manuscripts. The collection, located at Farmleigh House in Phoenix Park, is owned by Marsh’s Library, an immaculately preserved library of the early Enlightenment that remains virtually unchanged in three centuries. Inside its walls are dark oak bookcases filled with 25,000 books, manuscripts, and maps from the 18th century. For the first century and a half of its existence, Marsh’s Library, for which our collection is named, was the only public library in Dublin. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original volume reproduced here contained \u003cem\u003eThe Book of Common Prayer, and Administration of the Sacraments ... together with the Psalter\u003c\/em\u003e, which was the standard prescribed text for use in Anglican church services. This edition was published by the renowned typesetter and entrepreneur John Baskerville (1707–1775), who designed the eponymous serif typeface still in use across the world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Book of Common Prayer\u003c\/em\u003e was purchased in the late 1980s by the Irish bibliophile Benjamin Guinness, 3rd Earl of Iveagh (1937–1992). It is bound in red morocco with gold tooling, gilded edges, and smooth marbled end leaves. We are thrilled to reproduce this spectacular antique binding in a charming green colourway that pays homage to our shared Irish ancestry. We hope the floral adornments of this Emerald Flower design inspire you to harness the generosity of nature as well as the gifts of knowledge. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal artwork:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gold-tooled leather book binding of The Book of Common Prayer, and Administration of the Sacraments ... together with the Psalter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1760\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ireland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 325 × 235 × 5 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Emerald Flower\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nature’s Grace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Marsh’s Library\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecorative printed paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHolds up to 40 sheets of A4 paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagnetic closure with 3 pairs of covered magnets keeps it securely fastened\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpandable fabric sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 150 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct code:\u003c\/strong\u003e PA1402-8 | \u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780349714028\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout Paperblanks\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaperblanks works with museums, libraries, galleries and artists around the world to faithfully reproduce remarkable artwork, historic bindings and treasured manuscripts, bringing the same care and craftsmanship found in its celebrated journals to every accessory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paperblanks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54386149130568,"sku":"PA1402-8","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0920\/5114\/5032\/files\/9780349714028_Front_HighRes.png?v=1792779068","url":"https:\/\/shop.penandpaper.co.uk\/products\/paperblanks-emerald-flower-document-folder-pa1402-8","provider":"The Pen and Paper Stationery Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
