My good friend and client brought a family heirloom book to me seeking advice of how to repair and preserve the book. She also shared the significance of the book with me, which dated back to 1946 and had been created by a family member  who chronicled her family's history in France through sketches, memoirs, including the family crests as they evolved over time. Somehow she wanted to share this information and history with the current descendants of this historical article. I proposed creating a composite of the sketched family crests surrounded by architectural sketches in the book from scans of the original drawings. In this fashion she could have copies made of the composite to share with her family members, while keeping the book intact. She embraced this vision! Ultimately the composite measured 16"x20". Using a small print company there were 25 copies made of the composite for the family members as a holiday gifts.
