Book Description
"[A] collection of new, unpublished poems written by award-winning poet, essayist, and translator Jane Hirshfield. The poems are laments speaking of climate catastrophe and its felt consequence, in ways both direct and indirect. One poem mourns the loss of a neighbor's eighty-foot-tall Monterey pine, another holds refugees crossing the Mediterranean, another recalls harrowed war fields of medieval Japan and 1916 France." --

The Restoration of Engravings, Drawings, Books, and Other Works on Paper
Author: Max Schweidler
Publisher: Getty Publications
ISBN: 9780892368358
Category : Antiques & Collectibles
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
Ever since its original publication in Germany in 1938, Max Schweidler's Die Instandetzung von Kupferstichen, Zeichnungen, Buchern usw has been recognized as a seminal modern text on the conservation and restoration of works on paper. To address what he saw as a woeful dearth of relevant literature and in order to assist those who have 'set themselves the goal of preserving cultural treasures, ' the noted German restorer composed a thorough technical manual covering a wide range of specific techniques, including detailed instructions on how to execute structural repairs and alterations that, if skilfully done, can be virtually undetectable. By the mid-twentieth century, curators and conservators of graphic arts, discovering a nearly invisible repair in an old master print or drawing, might comment that the object had been 'Schweidlerized.' This volume, based on the authoritative revised German edition of 1949, makes Schweidler's work available in English for the first time, in a meticulously edited and annotated critical edition. The editor's introduction places the work in its historical context and probes the philosophical issues the book raises, while some two hundred annotati
