- Description
- The image shows an open journal laid flat, displaying two pages. The left page contains a small photograph of an ancient book, photographed to capture its open pages. Below the photograph, handwritten text describes the book and its location. On the right page, a simple black-and-white sketch illustrates an accordion fold book with multiple pages extending outward. Above the sketch, there is a heading in handwritten text. Several colorful fabric tabs can be seen protruding from the top and left edges of the journal, labeled with words like “THE PORTALS” and “AMBULANCE RIDE” among others.
