This book is the seventh in the Readings in Conservation series,
which gathers and publishes texts that have been influential in the
development of thinking about the conservation of cultural
heritage. The present volume provides a selection of more than
ninety-five texts tracing the development of the conservation of
works of art on paper. Comprehensive and thorough, the book relates
how paper conservation has responded to the changing place of
prints and drawings in society. The readings include a remarkable
range of historical selections from texts such as Renaissance
printmaker Ugo da Carpi's sixteenth-century petition to the
Venetian senate on his invention of chiaroscuro, Thomas
Churchyard's 1588 essay in verse "A Sparke of Frendship and Warme
Goodwill," and Robert Bell's 1773 piece "Observations Relative to
the Manufacture of Paper and Printed Books in the Province of
Pennsylvania." These are complemented by influential writings by
such figures as A. H. Munsell, Walter Benjamin, and Jacques
Derrida, along with a generous representation of recent
scholarship. Each reading is introduced by short remarks explaining
the rationale for its selection and the principal matters covered,
and the book is supplemented with a helpful bibliography. This
volume is an indispensable tool for museum curators, conservators,
and students and teachers of the conservation of works of art on
paper.
