These remarkable albums are made in small shops in Florence, Italy, where families work together with the finest cowhides available worldwide, they skillfully tool the leather by hand, using traditional methods passed down for many generations. The front cover is bas-relief, embossed by using an ancient technique consisting of hot irons and pressure. The results are spectacular to the senses.
