New publication: Printed on Paper

Printed on Paper: The Techniques, History and Conservation of
Printed Media edited
by Jane Colbourne, Northumbria University and Reba Fishman Snyder,
Pierpont Morgan Library

This is the revised and edited text of papers presented at the 2007
Printed on Paper conference at The Sage Gateshead. The conference
was jointly organised by Northumbria University and the American
Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works.

Covering the period from the later Middle Ages to the present, the
twenty five essays in this book engage with fundamental issues of
the care, conservation, treatment, history and display of printed
matter, ranging from fifteenth-century incunables to early
twentieth-century film posters and contemporary digitally produced
Fine Art prints. They demonstrate the multi-disciplinary character
of research in the field of conservation and technical art history,
and its central significance for understanding and preserving
cultural heritage.

The authors are all specialists in their fields and are drawn from
museums, universities, print studios, libraries and conservation
institutes in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and
the Dominican Republic.
