The Quarto format is named after the earliest form of European printed publication, dating back to the 1400s when Gutenberg invented the first moveable-type printing press, heralding a revolution in mass communication, spreading ideas of literature, science and philosophy of the Renaissance. We celebrate this with our range of fine art and contemporary illustrations. BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED. The highly crafted covers are printed on foil paper, embossed then foil stamped, complemented by the luxury binding and rose red end-papers. The covers are created by our artists and designers who spend many hours transforming original artwork into gorgeous 3D masterpieces that feel good in the hand and look wonderful on a desk, table and in your bag. PRACTICAL, EASY TO USE. Flame Tree Notebooks come with practical features too: the high-quality, 120-gsm lined pages are FSC(R)-certified, Acid Free and Bleed Proof - suitable for all pen types, such as gel and rollerball. A pocket at the back for scraps and receipts, two ribbon markers to help keep track of more than just a to-do list, and a magnetic side flap helps keep everything neat and tidy. THE ARTIST. Ernst Haeckel (1834-1919) was born in Germany and studied medicine at the University of Berlin. Often referred to as 'The Man Who Merged Science with Art', Haeckel spent his life researching flora and fauna. Not only did he discover, describe and name thousands of new species, but he captured their forms with incredible illustrations. His work continues to be a key part of history in both the artistic and scientific worlds. THE FINAL WORD. As William Morris said, "Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful."
