Book Description
Excerpt from The Preparation and Uses of White Zinc Paints The object of this examination of white zinc is not to revive polemical discussions now extinct in France owing to the passing of the Act interdicting, in France, the use of white lead in all paintwork in buildings. This treatise must not be taken for anything but what it really is, namely (1) a practical and scientific guide to the judicious use of white zinc (2) a Sketch of its fluctuating history and more especially (3) as complete an exposition as possible of the indispensable technical knowledge required by practical men to understand this white pig ment well, SO as to be able to demand of it all it is capable of doing, and not to require of it what it cannot do. There is no need to fear double dealing in the Author's developments; his explanations are always sincere and. Clearly expressed. Likewise, no one will find under his pen any form of advertisement, for it is as a practical and not as a commercial man that he writes.

Book Description
The combined training and experience of the authors of this classic in the varied activities of painting conservation, cultural research, chemistry, physics, and paint technology ideally suited them to the task they attempted. Their book, written when they were both affiliated with the Department of Conservation at Harvard's Fogg Art Museum, is not a handbook of instruction. It is, instead, an encyclopedic collection of specialized data on every aspect of painting and painting research. The book is divided into five sections: Mediums, Adhesives, and Film Substances (amber, beeswax, casein, cellulose, nitrate, dragon's blood, egg tempera, paraffin, lacquer, gum Arabic, Strasbourg turpentine, water glass, etc.); Pigments and Inert Materials (over 100 entries from alizarin to zinnober green); Solvents, Diluents, and Detergents (acetone, ammonia, carbon tetrachloride, soap, water, etc.); Supports (academy board, dozens of different woods, esparto grass, gesso, glass, leather, plaster, silk, vellum, etc.); and Tools and Equipment. Coverage within each section is exhaustive. Thirteen pages are devoted to items related to linseed oil; eleven to the history and physical and chemical properties of pigments; two to artificial ultramarine blue; eleven to wood; and so on with hundreds of entries. Much of the information — physical behavior, earliest known use, chemical composition, history of synthesis, refractive index, etc. — is difficult to find elsewhere. The rest was drawn from such a wide range of fields and from such a long span of time that the book was immediately hailed as the best organized, most accessible work of its kind. That reputation hasn't changed. The author's new preface lists some recent discoveries regarding pigments and other materials and the pigment composition chart has been revised, but the text remains essentially unchanged. It is still invaluable not only for museum curators and conservators for whom it was designed, but for painters themselves and for teachers and students as well.
