Hi,
I am very pleased to plug a brand new book (just went on sale a few days ago!)
by my colleague, Dr. Cathleen Baker, Senior Conservator at the University of
Michigan Library.
From the Hand to the Machine: Nineteenth-century American
Paper and Mediums: Technologies, Materials, and Conservation.
Ann Arbor: The Legacy Press, 2010. ISBN: 978-0-9797974-2-2
$65.00 400+ pp., 500+ illustrations, many in color, bound in cloth, sewn
Can be ordered from: thelegacypress.com, where there is also
more information.
Endorsement by Timothy Barrett, Research Scientist and Paper Specialist,
University of Iowa Center for the Book and 2009 MacArthur Fellow from the back
of the jacket:
"With the possible exception of the century when papermaking was invented, nothing
comes close to what happened to the paper trade in the 1800s, especially in America. ...
Documenting all of this innovation in one comprehensive volume seems a monumental task,
but Cathleen Baker has accomplished just that in a thorough, enlightening, and
orchestrated manner. From the Hand to the Machine is certain to become a standard
reference for conservators, curators and librarians, collectors, and anyone else with an
interest in nineteenth-century works on paper."
Cheers to all,
Peggy
