Reproducing a unique gold stamped, dark brown leather cover crafted by the American bookbinder \u003cem\u003eAlice Cordelia Morse\u003c\/em\u003e (1863–1961) in the style of 16th-century fanfare bindings, \u003cem\u003ePacifica\u003c\/em\u003e represents a spirit of wayfaring and grand adventure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original binding was crafted to hold William Seward Webb’s \u003cem\u003eCalifornia and Alaska and Over the Canadian Pacific Railway\u003c\/em\u003e, a well-regarded travelogue first published in 1890. The book detailed a trip Webb took with his family through western North America, documenting the wildlife they viewed and the general experience of travelling by train, or \u003cem\u003e“iron horse.”\u003c\/em\u003e This edition, which was published by \u003cem\u003eG.P. Putnam’s Sons\u003c\/em\u003e in New York, featured Webb’s notes and illustrations of the journey through Colorado, New Mexico, California, Montana, British Columbia, and the Canadian Rockies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis exquisite edition was produced as a deluxe gift book and was limited to only 500 copies. The copy reproduced here is now held at the \u003cem\u003eMetropolitan Museum of Art Library\u003c\/em\u003e in New York City.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs an artist, Morse maintained the belief that the book designer must take the central idea of the book and creatively depict it on the cover. For this binding, one can imagine her creating train tracks crisscrossing a map, or perhaps even the spokes of a compass, in the gold stamping she patterned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTravel is said to broaden the mind, so it is our hope that our \u003cem\u003eIron Horse\u003c\/em\u003e design will inspire your creativity and expression through not just the beauty of the binding, but the unique story behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ng-binding\"\u003eWidth: 205mm (8\")\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ng-binding\"\u003eHeight: 300mm (11¾\")\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan ng-if=\"product.DepthMM\" class=\"ng-binding ng-scope\"\u003eDepth: 15mm (½\")\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paperblanks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43531405885474,"sku":"9781439797693","price":49.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0052\/0785\/1042\/files\/Copy-of-Book-Template---2025-02-22T125314-336.jpg?v=1740182028","url":"https:\/\/petronella.pro\/products\/paperblanks-iron-horse-grande-lined-hb-notebook","provider":"Petronella's Gallery and Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
