<strong> In June of last year we were approached by Ashford Studio's the producers of Vikings, the New TV series filmed in Wicklow.</strong></div>

We produced a replica 8th century illuminated manuscript for the series.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Handbound in leather and using oak boards from a fallen Oak in the National Park, Killarney. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
The series is set in the 8th century, it portrays Ragnar as a Viking farmer who pioneers the first daring raid into Britain with the support of fellow warriors.</div>

The book will
deteriorate a lot throughout the different episodes of the series so we had to
produce <b>seven repeats </b>of the prop itself. These volumes were then aged to represent the longevity of the volume. </div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span>Having hand sewn the pages we attached Irish Linen hinges on the endpapers. These were then pasted back on to the Oak boards, and left exposed. We used Oak boards aged over 30 years as was in keeping with the binding style of the period.<br />
<br />
The leather cover is overlaid with a decorative metal intricate cross, and a foredge clasp. The images here were taken before the book was distressed by the set designers.</div>

Ennis Town Commissioners Minute Book was required for a civic function in Ennis on Friday 22nd February. Irene Franklin, Archivist, Clare County Council had the volume delivered to us in the bindery in Muckross House.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The volume required overall dry cleaning using smoke sponge, cotton wool and erasers. The first few section and the last sections were loose and in need of paper repairs. We toned Japanese tissue and commenced tear and spine repairs.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Old index tabs were removed as these had been crudely attached at a later stage. After sewing the volume was lined with Japanese tissue and Aero Linen.</div>

As the volume had no binding we rebound in a similar style to its original . Acid free elephant boards were laced in under linen joints. Rebound in an Acid free Archival calf spine with Heritage buckram sides and Archival calf lettering piece blind blocked.<br />
<br />
We managed to complete the project and delivered it back to Clare County Archives in the tight time frame window required.<br />

Over the past few months I have been working on digital imaging, ( using the talents of David Davidson ) and controlling the display conditions leading up to the launch in UCC on 18th January. <br />
The Great Book of Ireland , which comprises the original work of nine composers, 121 artists and 143 poets, is a handbound vellum manuscript with original artworks, poetry and calligraphy. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Bound using Irish vellum in goatskin, over elm boards hewn from a tree planted by W. B . Yeats in Thoor Ballylee.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Three literature Nobel Laureates, Samuel Becket, Seamus Heaney and Derek Walcott feature.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It was produced in Dublin between 1989 and 1991.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
President Michael D. Higgins marked the acquisition at a special ceremony in UCC, attended by many of the original poets and artists.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
With original pieces by Louis le Brocquy, with Samuel Beckett's last ever handwritten contribution receiving particular attention.</div>
