Stationery Matters, The Modern Gentleman's Guide to Letter Paper, Cartamano Press

The little booklet published by Italian publisher Cartamano Press is the essential guide to the almost forgotten art of letter writing. It is the account of an Italian aristocrat, who decided to document the finer points of personal correspondence for his grand children and the world at large.

From the choice of paper and envelopes to ink colours and correspondence typefaces, the guide is an indispensable companion for the discerning gentleman  – and his lady. Written by Chiara Medioli, with illustrations by Kathrin Jacobsen, the guide was published in Italian, English and German.
