Beautiful and luxurious the journals combine high-quality production with magnificent art. The highly crafted covers are printed on foil paper, embossed then foil stamped, complemented by the luxury binding and rose red end-papers. These notebooks come with practical features too: a pocket at the back for scraps and receipts; two ribbon markers to help keep track of more than just a to-do list; robust ivory text paper, printed with lines; and when you need to collect other notes or scraps of paper the magnetic side flap keeps everything neat and tidy. ‘All of a sudden,’ Monet would one day recall, ‘I had the revelation of the enchantment of my pond. I took up my palette…’ And the rest is art-history. Again and again – well over 200 times, and often working on an enormous scale – Claude Monet would return to water lilies as his subject.
