Same Mistakes, Different Century Journal

History has a habit of repeating itself. The details change, the costumes get better, and somehow we keep finding new ways to make very old mistakes.
This journal is a dry little tribute to that pattern. The cover pairs a contemplative classical figure with four increasingly questionable subjects: empires, revolutions, bad ideas, and, inevitably, repeat. The engraved illustration gives it the feel of something pulled from an old library rather than a piece of novelty merchandise.

Inside, it works for notes, observations, reading lists, historical rabbit holes, or whatever thought has just sent you looking up a 600-year-old succession dispute. A good fit for the history buff who has noticed that humanity's relationship with hindsight is, well, complicated.
