Vincent van Gogh: Almond Blossom (Foiled Quarto Journal)

A FLAME TREE NOTEBOOK. Beautiful and luxurious, the Foiled Quarto Journals combine high-quality production and FSC pages with magnificent art. They are perfect as a gift and an essential personal choice for writers, notetakers, list-makers, travellers, students, poets, and diarists. These journals feature a wide range of well-known and modern artists, with new artworks published throughout the year.

A NEW SERIES. The Quarto format is named after the earliest form of European printed publication, dating back to the 1400s when Gutenberg invented the first moveable-type printing press. This innovation heralded a revolution in mass communication, spreading ideas of literature, science, and philosophy of the Renaissance. We celebrate this with our range of fine art and contemporary illustrations.

BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED. The highly crafted covers are printed on foil paper, embossed, and then foil-stamped, complemented by luxury binding and rose red end-papers. The covers are created by our artists and designers who spend many hours transforming original artwork into gorgeous 3D masterpieces that feel good in the hand and look wonderful on a desk, table, in your hand, and in your bag.

PRACTICAL, EASY TO USE. Flame Tree Notebooks come with practical features: the high-quality, 120-gsm lined pages are FSC, Acid-Free, and Bleed-Proof, suitable for all pen types, such as gel and rollerball. A pocket at the back holds scraps and receipts, two ribbon markers help you keep track of more than just a to-do list, and a magnetic side flap keeps everything neat and tidy.

THE ARTIST. Vincent van Gogh is considered one of the world's greatest painters, his work having had a huge and far-reaching influence on 20th-century art while remaining visually and emotionally powerful to this day. Van Gogh painted Almond Blossom as a gift in celebration of the birth of his nephew. He had previously been greatly inspired by flowering trees and appreciated their power as symbols of rebirth.

THE FINAL WORD. As William Morris said, "Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful."
