Unlined, made by Paperblanks:
'For a Paperblanks release marking their 200th birthdays, we sought to find a material highlighting the special bond between the sisters. The Brontë Parsonage Museum, set up in the former home of the family, kindly provided us with a page capturing the spirit of familial harmony and creative pursuit that nourished the talents of the Brontë siblings.
Dated June 26, 1837, the page reproduced here was written by Emily and is a part of one of the “papers” that the family would write together every four years or so. It references the family members’ activities during the day and their musings about the future. Emily and Anne were particularly close with each other, and the rough sketch taking up half the page is of the two seated at the table in front of the “papers” and the tin box in which they were kept. The sombre colour scheme of this Special Edition cover echoes the dark character of the Brontës’ writing. This particular purple hue is also the colour of heather, the flower blanketing the Yorkshire moors, the land that inspired some of the most moving works of British literature. It is our pleasure to honour these literary icons as the world joins to commemorate their bicentennial.'
