One Very Large Portfolio

This portfolio in black leather is about 17.5" x 26" 

Last book on my forever long to-do list before shutting
down shop for Christmas!

Grey Handmade Lokta Paper from Nepal was used for the
inside of front and back covers, the pages are not yet added.

Screw Post Binding which lays flat when open,
the pages are not yet added

Raised name in the leather which not only looks nice
but you can't help but run your hands over it to feel it!

That's a 12" ruler sitting on top of that portfolio

Paul Scott Page is a photographer that commissioned this work. He creates beautiful images of seemingly ordinary things. This particular portfolio will hold images of large spaces which really call to be printed and viewed in this larger format.

One of my favorite images is called "metro arteries"; see if you can find it!
