A Victorian curiosity cabinet, bound and ready to write in. The Entomology notebook from BV by Bruno Visconti features a cream soft-touch cover densely packed with vintage-style insect specimens — large stag beetles with dramatic forked mandibles, iridescent green longhorn beetles, dragonflies with translucent veined wings, a red-and-black spotted ladybug, brown owl-eye moths with circular eyespot markings, and a large amber cockchafer, all scattered across an ecru ground. A centered gold-bordered label with gold-foil “Notebook” lettering sits at the center of the collection.
The endpapers lean into the specimen theme with equal drama: the front opens to a powder blue page featuring four individual insect illustrations facing a warm parchment Personal Data page anchored by a single large Goliath beetle in full iridescent detail. The back closes with a parchment Notes page topped by a full-spread owl-eye moth, facing a parchment endpaper entirely filled by a monumental stag beetle with extended forked mandibles. Interior pages are lightly ruled on smooth, cream-tinted 70 GSM acid-free paper. Beautifully designed in Italy.
