This intriguing journal's stylings reproduce the binding of The Universe: Or, the Infinitely Great and the Infinitely Little, an encyclopedia of the sciences by French naturalist Felix-Archimede Pouchet (1800-1872), published in London in 1870 and designed by John Leighton. Its cover medallions' words and images herald ''Air Water Fire,'' ''Vegetable Animal Mineral,'' and in the center -- ''The Universe,'' spheres indicating latitude and longitude, with zodiac symbols within. 160 lightly lined writing pages. Thick, smooth-finish acid-free archival-quality 120 gsm paper takes pen and pencil beautifully. Matte hardcover journal is embossed with gold foil highlights. A gold ribbon bookmark keeps your place. Bronze endpapers complement the design. Journal measures 6-1/4'' wide x 8-1/2'' high.
