The Universe Journal

A beautifully detailed journal inspired by a nineteenth-century encyclopedia of the sciences, this makes a thoughtful gift for a young writer, sketcher, or curious mind who loves putting their thoughts on paper.

Its embossed cover reproduces the design of The Universe: Or, the Infinitely Great and the Infinitely Little, originally published in London in 1870, with cover medallions bearing the words and images of "Air Water Fire," "Vegetable Animal Mineral," and at the center "The Universe," complete with spheres indicating latitude and longitude and zodiac symbols within — all finished with gold foil and a matching spine treatment. Inside, light gray lines subtly guide writing across premium 120 gsm, acid-free, archival-quality pages that take pen or pencil beautifully, and a ribbon bookmark keeps the writer's place.
