The trip involved a visit to Frida Kahlo's residence, hence the decorative touch on the inside boards featuring her.  The labels on the front boards are blocked in black onto calf and hand painted to the customer's specification.  The books are bound in half calf.  The larger is a hand made glued Victorian style album and the smaller is the A4 trip itinerary that was converted from a sprial binding to calf binding.

The style of the album is Victorian made with linen strips and acid free board.  Below is an example of the opening of a Victorian Style photo album
