Abstract
The present paper describes choices, solutions and treatments discussed and performed on two photographic albums belonging to the National Archeology Museum of Florence (Doro Levi –First Archeology Campaign in Mesopotamia) and Villa I Tatti – The Harvard University Center for Italian Renaissance Studies in Florence (Inventory of Furniture and Small Objects of a Florentine Antiquarian), carried out at the Conservation Laboratory of the National Central Library of Florence and at the Paper and Prints Department of the Opificio delle Pietre Dure in Florence. A strict workflow had to be put into action due to the large number of photographs involved. In both cases, physical gels (AgarArt®, Gellan Gum) or chemical gels (Nanorestore®, Peggy 6®) were used and their use proved to be fundamental to the success of the treatment.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
