Tobacco-coloured leather autograph book with laces

Description

Autograph book with tobacco-coloured cover in vegetable-dyed calf leather, hand-sewn in twine with laces. Founded by Alberto Cozzi in 1908 upon the left-hand bank of the Arno, this bookbinder's workshop produces hand-marbled paper, stationery, diaries, albums and books bound in vegetable-dyed leather. A century after its foundation, both its seat and traditional Florentine artisan techniques remain unchanged. Alberto Cozzi's passion for this ancient art has been transferred through the generations; children and grandchildren have followed in his footsteps and gone on to enlarge the scope of the business.
