Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cigarettes are a strange commodity in an insane asylum. Not everybody has them; hence, they come to serve as a strange currency. Some ask for cigarettes; others hand them out. They can be symbols of friendship and sources of conversation. Most of all, however, they are the only material object that is not confiscated from the patient when he or she enters the asylum. Thus they become an element of identity and assume a much larger reality than they actually have.

Download or read book Art Conservation written by W. (Bill) Wei and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-07-15 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conservators and other museum professionals face a large number of issues involving the mechanical behavior of materials, including questions on craquelure, restoring physically damaged objects, art in transport, or the selection of adhesives. However, science in conservation and museum studies curricula focusses mostly on chemistry. This book fills this important gap in conservation training. It is the first such book written specifically for the conservation community and professionals with little or no background in (mechanical) engineering. It introduces the basics of mechanical properties and behavior of materials and objects with examples and exercises based on conservation practice. More complex issues of mechanical loading and advanced solutions are also introduced.

Download or read book Textile Conservator s Manual written by Sheila Landi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-10-12 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second edition of 'Textile Conservator's Manual', now revised and available in paperback, provides an in-depth review of the current practice, ethics and materials used in textile conservation. Concentrating on decorative art objects from the major cultures, the book gives practical instruction and a wide variety of case histories. While the format has been simplified, the text has been expanded and updated to include changes bought about by recent developments in the conservation of material. This new information will increase the reader's ability to interpret signs of ageing and past activity on the object. New case histories in Part Two represent major investigations into the technical history. A basis is provided from which to develop practical skills, taking into account the needs of the object, its essential characteristics of appearance and, above all, its structure. The book covers a wide range of decorative objects, from a fragment of linen 4000 years old to a theatrical backcloth of the twentieth century. This book is practical and thought-provoking, not only about what is being done and how, but also why.
Download or read book The Zealous Conservator written by John Dargavel and published by ISBS. This book was released on 2008 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Charles Lane Poole (1885-1970), a man who commanded attention, he was a little over average height, with a square face, strong jaw, determined eye, and a hook in place of his left hand." "Fired by the ideals of forest conservation and its science, Poole followed their dictates in Western Australia and across the world - irrespective of the personal consequences or the political reality. This fascinating biography follows his life from his birth in England in 1885 to Ireland, France, South Africa, Sierra Leone, Western Australia, Papua New Guinea, Canberra, where he established Australia's national forestry school, and Sydney, where he died in 1970." "He was a truly zealous conservator: a man so sure in his path that his intolerance of any other views but his own was to blight his career as a public servant and to prove his Achilles Heel. Charles Lane Poole advanced the frontier of forest conservation in Australia with great knowledge and relentless energy. Yet conservation was a complex, contentious matter in his time, no less so than it is in our own, as intensely political as it was scientific."--BOOK JACKET.
