As a Fashion designer this is the kind of inspiration that you don’t see everyday. Garments and fabrics have emotional resonance in a person’s life and this diary is a superb example! Thank You

I had the privilege of seeing replica pages from Ida Jackson’s Journal at the Proteus Gowanus exhibit and found them fascinating on two counts: (1) As a cultural record, the Journal is remarkable for pairing Ida’s recollections and comments with the actual fabric swatchs of her garments; (2) The technical quality of the scans is so excellent that the fabric swatch images on the replica pages have an amazing 3-D quality that makes one swear one can feel the actual fibers of the historic textiles.

A fabulous treasure trove of fabrics and textile history and a wonderful idea for anyone to start creating their own diary with everyday objects around them

I enjoyed getting just a taste of Ida Jackson’s journal. What a treat it must be to handle! Thanks for the reproductions and for the link to Proteus Gowanus.
