D.A.Wagner Handmade Portfolio Case

Portfolio is covered with Techno 146 Ballistics bookbinding cloth and Slipcase is covered with Iris Bookcloth - size 13" high x 14" wide. The interior of the slipcase is lined with hahnemuhle Ingres 112, handmade paper.
Detail, inside end of screw post binding.
Detail - right corner - the interior fabric is Asahi 2367A book cloth from Talas. In all, 8 portfolios were made, each named for the various blemish that seemed glaring to me at the time of production. In this case, the portfolio was almost perfect.
Detail - foil embossed logo - Both the slipcase and the portfolio housing are embossed with matte red foil. The die was fabricated by Owosso Photoengravers.
Front panel and logo page
Center spread - all pages are two-sided, full bleed on Moab Lasal Photo Matte 12 x 13 Paper. It's pre-scored and pre-drilled for screw post binding portfolios. The Asahi fabric interior was a perfect compliment for the warm tones and gradient backgrounds of my images.
Air shipping case is an off the shelf, unmodified SKB utility shipping case with center foam inserts removed. A perfect fit.
Shipping case ready to go. Now that I look at this, it needs a stencil of the jumping fish logo as an I.D.
