The faking and forgery of works of art and antiquities is probably
now more extensive than ever before. The frauds are aided by new
technologies, from ink jet printers to epoxy resins, and driven by
the astronomic prices realised on the global market. This book aims
to provide a comprehensive survey of the subject over a wide range
of materials, emphasising how the fakes and forgeries are produced
and how they may be detected by technical and scientific
examination. The subject is exemplified by numerous case studies,
some turning out not to be as conclusive as is sometimes believed.
The book is aimed at those likely to have a serious interest in
these investigations, be they curator, collector, conservator or
scientist. Paul Craddock has recently retired from the Department
of Conservation, Documentation and Science at the British Museum,
where he was a materials scientist.
