Had a really good conversation with the bookbinders today. All the printing is complete and the case binding is underway. They are such skilled artisans and it is a traditional craft that would be familiar to the Victorians who once waited in the Parlour Room. The books are going to look amazing with case bound spines, buckskin covers, gold embossed lettering and thick satin paper. Soon people will be able to while away the time in the Parlour with stories a plenty to lead them back in time.
Brenton is well ahead with the daguerreotypes now, so the project is on program to complete by the end of September as planned. I'm really looking forward to seeing the subtle silvery portraits of Dennis and Joan and catch my own reflection in the mirrored surface as I search for their faces.
