A detail from Portrait of a Lady by Desirée Galliot sits centred on an ochre paper cover — lips caught mid-expression, suspended between the painted past and the blank page waiting inside. Part of Slow's Libri Muti (Mute Books) series, this notebook is made entirely by hand in Florence using traditional printing and bookbinding techniques that Founders Roberto di Filitto and Nathalie Schneider have spent years researching and reviving.

The pages lie flat when open, held by exposed coptic-stitch binding. The edges of the page block are hand-coloured in red — a detail as considered as the cover it accompanies, and a quiet nod to the ancient art of bookbinding.
