A row of classic New York City tenement buildings rises against a pale sky, their facades painted in warm cream and terracotta with dark fire escapes zigzagging across the brick. The composition captures the geometric rhythm of arched windows and ornamental cornices, rendered in soft, muted tones that convey the quiet dignity of historic urban architecture. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
