Pocket Journal (Van Gogh: Starry Night Over the Rhône) - Flame Tree Publishing

A part of the Flame Tree series of portable, luxury pocket books. Combining high-quality production with stunning artwork, the covers are printed on foil in five colors, embossed, and then foil-embossed again. They are wonderfully practical: with a back pocket for receipts and scraps, two bookmarks, and a sturdy magnetic side flap. Perfect for personal use, handbags, and make an impressive gift. This example features the breathtaking painting Starry Night over the Rhône by Vincent van Gogh.

In a letter to his sister Wilhelmina Van Gogh wrote: “It often seems to me that night is even richer in colors than day.” In this night scene, the sky is Prussian blue, ultramarine, and cobalt, with shimmering yellow gaslights and stars. The depicted location is in Arles, near the Yellow House where he stayed.

Fascinating titles and a very wide range of authors are synonymous with the Flame Tree Publishing brand.

“The aim… is to wipe the dust of everyday life from our souls,” Pablo Picasso.

“For over twenty years, Flame Tree Publishing has been dusting off everyday life,” creating illustrated books since 1992, art calendars since 1998, and illustrated e-books since 2009. Their extensive list includes powerful and eloquent artists such as Erté and Alphonse Mucha, complemented by extensive licenses in award-winning calendar lines, including Tate, V&A, RSC, RA, and many others.

Thanks to a wide range of authors, editors, and writers—from Vladimir Ashkenazy, Steve Hackett, John Howe, Sir George Martin, Brian May, Paul du Noyer, Paco Peña, Stanley Sadie—the brand strives to create illustrated projects that are affordable, useful, and beautiful. In addition to printed titles, their exceptional selection of practical cookbooks, music books, pop culture, and lifestyle titles is increasingly available in digital formats. The producer believes that well-reviewed, thoughtfully curated content should be available in many different formats to meet their readers’ needs.
