Bookbinder / Book Restorer in London
i thought about it so many times but wasn’t sure that my theory was going somewhere right.
the link below will lead you to a talk by dr. jonathan ashley-smith at the iic conference 1994, ‘preventive conservation: practice, theory and research’ in ottawa, canada.
it is a food for thought. at least, to me.
bright colours would do the job. can’t wait till spring comes.
