The Odyssey bookmark: The Siren Climbs Aboard. Homer's epic on a translucent silk organza bookmark, printed with Draper, Ulysses and the Sirens, 1909, framed in silk-wrapped cord. A gift for the reader, the classics student, the teacher, or anyone swept up in the story on every screen this year.
Draper's siren comes over the rail in her sea-blue veil, half wave and half woman. On sheer organza the sea keeps moving as you turn the page.
Hold it to the page and the words read through the picture. That is the point of organza: the bookmark never hides the line you stopped at.
Why You'll Love It
- A real bookmark for a real book: sheer, light, and it stays put between the pages
- Odyssey art you can give: Draper, Ulysses and the Sirens, 1909, in the public domain, printed with care, not a mass-market print on card
- Translucent organza catches the light and shows the text beneath, so it photographs beautifully on a reading pile
- One of ten designs in the collection: collect the voyage, or send one to every reader you know
- Under £30, and arrives ready to give

Product Details
Size: 11.5 cm x 3.5 cm
Material: sheer silk organza panel; frame of silk-wrapped cord
Print: the artwork is printed directly onto the organza (direct-to-garment print), so the colours sit in the fabric rather than on top of it. Not embroidered.
Arrives gift-ready, one bookmark per pack
Care: keep flat inside a book; do not fold; wipe with a dry cloth
Design after Herbert James Draper, 'Ulysses and the Sirens' (1909), public domain.
Gift Ideas
Book lover, English or classics teacher, a student starting the Odyssey, a book club, a stocking for a reader, or a small thank-you that is not another candle. The story on every screen this year, in the pages of the book that started it.
