thesis excerpts: the moleskine

In the XIX century in Europe, a specific type of notebook spread around: the moleskine. The name means leather in English and it has been used to describe a notebook with a black cover of a very strong vinyl-coated material, a little pocket on the back and a rubber band. The notebook has been used by many famous authors and artists, becoming very well-known in Europe, “until plastic-covered ones gradually replaced them from the 1950s” (te Heesen, 2005).
