{"product_id":"photographs-of-the-past-bertand-lavdrine-9780892369577","title":"Photographs of the Past: Process and Preservation","description":"In recent years, interest in old photographs has grown significantly among a broad public, from collectors, conservators, and archivists to amateurs seeking to preserve precious family albums. Although the medium of photography is barely 150 years old, its relatively brief history has witnessed the birth of a wide range of photographic processes, each of which poses unique conservation challenges. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cem\u003ePhotographs of the Past: Processes and Preservation\u003c\/em\u003e provides a comprehensive introduction to the practice of photograph preservation, bringing together more information on photographic processes than any other single source. Introductory chapters cover issues of terminology; the rest of the book is divided into three parts: positives, negatives, and conservation. Each chapter focuses on a single process--daguerreotypes, albumen negatives, black-and-white prints, and so on--providing an overview of its history and materials and tracing the evolution of its technology. This book will serve as an irreplaceable reference work for conservators, curators, collectors, dealers, conservation students, and photographers, as well as those in the general public seeking information on preserving this ubiquitous form of cultural heritage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bertrand Lavédrine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0892369574\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780892369577\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Getty Conservation Institute\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 6.60w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2009 pg. 173","brand":"Bertrand Lavédrine","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926786932991,"sku":"9780892369577","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_5adf1c5d-1641-43d1-bb51-79c6183d1e78.jpg?v=1681085006","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/photographs-of-the-past-bertand-lavdrine-9780892369577","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
