Gilded Butterflies Journal

This radiant journal reproduces a jeweled binding created circa 1920 for a collection of fairy tales by Hans Christian Andersen. The original, created by atelier Bayntun-Riviere, was crafted of gold and leather, featuring butterflies and corner floral motifs set against a deep blue background.

The reproduction is embossed and embellished with iridescent highlights, with matching spine accents that capture the elegance of the original binding. Inside, crisp writing pages provide plenty of space for personal reflections, sketching, or recording favorite quotations or poems. The premium paper takes pen or pencil beautifully, while the pages are edged in gilded-gold for an extra touch of luxury.

About Peter Pauper Press In 1928, at the age of twenty-two, Peter Beilenson began printing books on a small press in the basement of his parents' home in Larchmont, New York. Peter -- and later, his wife, Edna -- sought to create fine books that sold at prices even a pauper could afford. Today, still family owned and operated, Peter Pauper Press continues to honor their founders' legacy -- and their customers' expectations -- of beauty, quality, and value.
