U.S. Marine Corps Leather Journal

To celebrate the honor, courage, commitment and fighting spirit that drive every Marine, we at The Great Republic worked closely with American leather workers at Tactile Craftworks to create an extraordinary journal that honors this branch.

Each journal features a historical rendering of the Marine Corps Emblem, depicting a spreadwing eagle, a globe with a view of the Western hemisphere, and a fouled anchor. This rendering is the 1936 version of the Marine Corps Emblem design. Drawing on the tradition of serving on land and sea (“Per Mare, Per Terram”), the emblem is rich in symbolism. The eagle and the globe represent the global reach and projection of the power represented by the Marine Corps. The fouled anchor displays the naval tradition and legacy of the Marine Corps. The side-looking eagle at top grasps the middle of a “SEMPER FIDELIS” banner. Latin for “always faithful,” Semper Fidelis has been the Marine Corps motto since 1883. It embodies the promise to always remain faithful, no matter what.

California in Three Maps

August 23, 2023

California has a very interesting mapping history. During and after the Mexican-American War, efforts to map California increased. Once gold was discovered in 1848, cartographers, geographers, and business men hurried to survey the land, lay claim to it, and, ultimately, market it to Americans heading west. When California joined the Union as the thirty-first state in 1851, interest in plotting California's landscapes skyrocketed in tandem with its population. Explore the history of California with these three maps from our collection.
