Conservation of plan on natural tracing paper

We are quite proud of this treatment since tracing paper is most rebel: folds and tears are most visible because of their lack of translucency. We've taken the before and after images on a black background so that you can judge the results.

Lecture: ‘Conservation of re-used bindings’ (Part one) Zagreb

Book conservation involves a tough decision making regarding usability and long term preservation handling. Sometimes we are dealing with fragmentology, or disjecta membra (fragments of written supports are re-used as part of a binding, with a diverse purpose from the first use) whereas in other cases the purpose is the same, and the whole binding is being recycled to bind a different book. Incunabula and manuscripts with laced-case and limp vellum bindings with rolled sewing on parchment are studied.
