Part of a series of exciting and luxurious Flame Tree Notebooks. Combining high-quality production with magnificent fine art, the covers are printed on foil in five colours, embossed then foil stamped. And they're powerfully practical: a pocket at the back for receipts and scraps, two bookmarks and a solid magnetic side flap. These are perfect for personal use and make a dazzling gift. This example is based on Leonardo da Vinci's 'Detail of the Head of the Virgin'. <p>Painter, draughtsman, architect, military engineer, musician, scientific researcher, designer: <b>Leonardo da Vinci</b> was all these and more, and through his drawings we find the most direct access to his genius. <i>The Head of the Virgin</i> uses delicate shading and subtle gradations in red and black chalks. The approach, known as the sfumato technique, creates this realistic and beautiful image.
